“I have multiple small nodules in both the lungs. What should I do?”
I have recently been detected with small nodules in both my lungs. Though they are not causing much concern as of now, it could grow and cause serious complications. What should I do to get rid of them?

Many possible etiologies of lung nodules exist, some of which are quite benign and others can be worrisome, a small percentage of them can be quite serious cause for concern.
Depends on the cause. The cause of nodules is usually determined by history and risk factors. The differential is broad, and giving an approach without your history and images would be unethical and not helpful to you. I recommend you see a lung specialist in your area, most times follow up and time will tell, progression will hint at the cause.
