Can lung consolidation be cured completely?

Whether lung consolidation can be completely cured requires a comprehensive evaluation based on the cause of lung consolidation, the size of the lung consolidation, and the patient's resistance.

1. If the lung consolidation is caused by lung infection, such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogenic microorganisms. In this case, as long as the treatment is prompt and the patient's resistance is relatively good, it can generally be completely cured. If the treatment is late, or if the patient's resistance is relatively poor, it may lead to a gradual worsening of symptoms that cannot be cured.

2. If the lung consolidation is caused by the invasion of the lungs by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, under the guidance of a specialist, the consolidation lesions can be absorbed and improved by taking anti-tuberculosis drugs early, combined, full, appropriate and regular.

3. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, etc. can also lead to consolidation of the lungs, and if the primary disease is treated in time, a better prognosis can generally be achieved. However, due to the possibility of complications of the disease itself, or the severity of the disease, or the delay in treatment, there may be cases where it cannot be completely cured.

Patients with lung consolidation should seek medical attention as soon as possible and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
