What can i do for spots on the lungs after radiation?

Depends on duration: If it is acute radiation pneumonitis, steroids can help, chronic changes are hard to get rid off.

Ask about them.: Ask your radiation oncologist about them. Are they spots caused by radiation or other spots that need evaluation?
