Ideally, you should have another visit with your doctor who should explain the CT findings.
The patchy ground glass infiltrate could be pneumonia, which they are treating you for I believe.
It could also represent scarring from previous infections. These ground glass findings can change with time, even disappear ( my own experience).
The punctuate nodule obviously is tiny and usually not important. It’s possible that they want to look at that another time in the future.
Like you, I have asthma- sporadic with different seasons or with infections such as flu or pneumonia, a couple of times very severe.
X-rays from these events have shown findings like yours.

Hi Ingegerd, You mentioned that you had ground glass findings that disappeared? Can you tell me more about that please? I have four GG nodules detected on a recent CT scan. Big surprise for me and I am very worried about them. Range in size from 4-5 mm to 6-7mm. Round, ground glass density, Indistinct margins. The LUNG/Rads category assigned to them is 2. They recommend repeat scan in 12 months. That seems like an awfully long time to me. How many did you have and what size if I may ask and also if they disappeared what was the time frame in which that happened. Thanks so much for your insight. I hope you are doing well.
