Crackling Sounds In Lungs

Fluids in the airways will cause a crackling sound as the air travels through it. Fluids, mucus or even pus can be there from several different medical conditions. Are you coughing anything up and does it clear then? You may have to go to your doctor, let him listen to all areas of your lungs and advise you. Hooray for you for quitting smoking! You could be in a lot worse situation. Hopefully, it's not bad and you'll get through it, but may need some meds.

One possibility is interstitial lung disease. My one year old daughter has an ILD, and the crackles are characteristic of that. Other possibilities I can think of (I'm no doctor, so I'm sure I'm leaving out stuff) are congestive heart failure and pneumonia. At any rate, if you have crackles, you should seek the advice of a physician, preferably one who specializes in pulmonology. They may need to do some tests to find out exactly what is going on and what they can do for you before things progress any further. Good luck, and take care.

Asthma, bronchitis, allergies, pneumonia. This is a symptom you should not ignore. You have an inflammation thing going on in your lungs. See a doctor, You may need antibiotics or inhalers.

If you mean "wheezing" sound and you were a smoker I'd get to the doc to rule out emphysema. Most asthmatics and COPD sufferers wheeze when we inhale and or exhale...wheezing indicates a problem. Could be an infection that can be cleared up with meds or it could be something a bit more serious.

The crackling is the sound of the alveoli popping open. The alveoli are collapsed and when she breaths in they pop open and cause crackling.

sounds like asthma or an upper respitory infection. You should get it checked out by the doctor.

Have you had the flu or a cold recently? Could be that. Seeing your doctor would be the best idea!
