A member asked:
Is there a cure for left mid lung calcification/ lymph node? is there someway it can be healed? maybe a certain type of food or drinks to clear it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A calcified node is not a disease, it is a radiologic finding resulting from a wide variety of situations and events. Often represents scar tissue and as such it never goes away but it may be due to an active disease. The doctor who ordered the test needs to go over the implications of this finding with you. Best to you.
