What does it mean if the doctor hears crackling through the stethoscope when listening to you breathe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crackle: Crackles may mean abnormality of the lungs or airways. Clearing of crackles after cough suggest secretions caused them. These sounds have to be correlated with clinical symptoms and other physical exam finding to be able to diagnose appropriately.
