How diagnosis is made?
Diagnosis is done through a series of tests, including a physical exam, chest X-ray, pulmonary function test, and sputum test. The doctor may also order a CT scan or bronchoscopy if needed.
Physical Exam
The doctor examines your throat, nose, and chest to check for any signs of inflammation or infection.
Chest X-ray
This test helps to detect any abnormalities in the lungs and chest area.
Pulmonary Function Test
These tests measure how much air your lungs can hold, how quickly you can exhale, and how well your lungs are oxygenating your blood.
CT Scan or Bronchoscopy
These tests are done in more complicated cases to check for any blockages or growths.
