Change in nodule size

In the previous hrct scan the larger nodule was 11mm. But after using antibiotics for 2 weeks now the nodule size is reduced. Do i need to worry still about the nodule

If the chest nodules are reducing in size and you are symptomatic ally getting better , then you need not worry. Do not smoke cigarretes, hookah, etc

As I stated earlier, you do need to discuss it out with your doctor. The nodule is characterised on multiple factors, size is one of them. There are other characters of nodules which may decide the course of management. So please approach you doctor and have a detailed discussion with him/her. If  your doctor does not have time to discuss it with you please change the doctor.
