Perhaps: Though it could be bacterial. You should be seen for an exam and diagnosis.

Possibilities: Crackling sounds can be from fluid from pneumonia but could also be a sign of lung disease caused by scleroderma. First find out whether the crackling is wet or dry. If dry a rheumatologist will likely have the answer.
