Question
Hello doctor,
My mother has a black spot in her lungs, has a cough. Mom was given cough medicine by the hospital, but because they were in the countryside, they didn't know what the black spot in the lungs was. So the doctor asked me if there is a black spot in the lung that is dangerous? Please advise, thank you.

Answered by Master, Doctor Nguyen Huy Nhat - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is there a black spot in the lung dangerous? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
“A black spot in the lung” usually has little meaning of dangerous pathology, but the doctor needs you to provide pictures (film) for a more accurate answer, because black spot is from the general phrase of many lung lesions. When you run out of medicine, your mother should have a follow-up examination and bring along the x-ray film for accurate advice.
If you still have questions about having black spots in your lungs, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
