Early symptoms of pulmonary nodules

Early symptoms of pulmonary nodules may include: 1. Cough and sputum production: Occasional cough with minimal sputum. As the condition progresses, yellowish-purulent sputum or blood-tinged sputum may develop. 2. Fever and chills: When pulmonary nodules are complicated by infection, persistent low-grade fever—particularly in the afternoon and evening—may occur, sometimes accompanied by chills, muscle aches, and fatigue. 3. Chest tightness and shortness of breath: Extensive lung lesions may lead to chest tightness, dyspnea, labored breathing, and a tendency to take deep breaths to relieve the sensation of chest oppression. 4. Chest pain: When pulmonary nodules are adjacent to or invade the pleura, chest pain or discomfort may occur, and the pain may intensify as the condition progresses. If you have concerns, seek medical attention promptly.
