Can amoxicillin cure pulmonary nodules?

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic drug that can inhibit sensitive bacterial infections, but is ineffective for pulmonary nodules caused by other factors.

Pulmonary nodules refer to clearly defined round or irregular lesions with a diameter of less than or equal to 3 cm in the lungs. In general, it is related to pulmonary inflammation, tuberculosis, hamartoma and other factors. Therefore, amoxicillin can be used to treat pulmonary nodules caused by bacterial infections, but not lung nodules caused by other factors.

Patients with pulmonary nodules can go to the thoracic surgery department of the hospital for treatment, perfect physical examination, blood routine examination, sputum culture, enhanced CT, bronchoscopy, histopathological examination, etc., to clarify the specific causes, and cooperate with doctors for targeted treatment.
