symptoms:
1-Abnormal cough.
2-Coughing up blood.
3-Pain in your chest.
4-Wheezing.
5-Fever.
6-A buildup of fluid around your lungs (pleural effusion)
7-Round lesions that show up on chest X-rays (“coin” lesions)
Treatment: Heartworms don’t live long in human blood, so the patient won’t need to have heartworms removed through either medication or surgery. Treatment for heartworms addresses any granulomas that appear on an imaging test that may have resulted from dead heartworm tissue buildup in the patients arteries. If a granuloma isn’t causing any symptoms or blockage in the patients arteries, the patient probably won’t need any further treatment.
If the doctor suspects that a granuloma may be cancerous or the result of another, more serious condition, they’ll likely take a tissue sample (biopsy)…
