I've just been doctors and she said she could hear cracklingin my chest but didn't tell me what it meant can you help?

The word crackling: suggests that the Dr. was hearing noises made by air flowing through mucus. This suggests that you had inflammation at this time affecting the bronchial tubes. It usually refers to pneumonitis that is commonly due to virus infection
