Cough + basal crackles in right lung. is this the same as congestion? please list causes? thanks.

Fluid: Crackles are an exam finding that can only be heard with a stethoscope, and typically indicate fluid buildup within the lung tissue. The two most common causes are pulmonary edema (from heart failure) and pneumonia.

Fluid: Fluid in the lungs sounds like crackles through a stethescope. First.See your primary care provider to be sure of the proper diagnosis. Then be sure to take prescription exactly as prescribed.
