My husband just got his CT scan back. He’s been doing periodically 3 to 6 months due to post Covid as well, he had green infections of phlegm in 2022 and three he’s recovered, but now his latest scanned CT, shows nodules in both lungs and it says malignant does that mean they’re all cancerous he’s going to see a special surgeon for an evaluation of this to see if this is something that antibiotics will help him along as I read everyone’s comments and post Covid issues, I can’t believe what thus virus has crested over the years!! he did not get any shots in 2020 or 2021, he got very sick for five days to a week and that’s when all the lung issues started. Like many people this virus has settled into the lungs and who knows if this will continue to be an issue or if they’ll ever be able to find a cure. !! he is young and healthy and always ate good never smoked or drank and here he had to end up with this like others. I pray every day for all people who have developed this along with im!!

@sunny1971 Please have him see a pulmonologist as well. Nodules and green mucus can both be indicators of infection. The can culture the mucus to see exactly what the bacteria is. Nodules can be biopsied of large enough (about 1.5 cm I think) but multiple spontaneous nodules in a young non-smoker are often evidence of infection.
