Is it necessary to go to doctor for crackles in lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: What you need to know is why is there an abnormal breath sound on your chest examination. The possibilities are quite diverse and your symptoms would help the doctor narrow things down. Fluid on the lungs, scarring or inflammation of the lung tissue are the most common reasons for crackles but again, the why is most important. Different medications may be needed. Crackles are not normal.
