What is a lung consolidation?

What is a lung consolidation?


Consolidation almost always makes it difficult for you to breathe. Air can’t get through the consolidation, so your lung can’t do its job of bringing in fresh air and removing the air your body has used. This may make you feel short of breath. It may also make your skin look pale or bluish due to a lack of oxygen. Other symptoms, depending on the cause, can include: (1)

coughing up thick green or bloody sputum

coughing up blood

a dry cough

breathing that sounds funny or is noisy

chest pain or heaviness

rapid breathing

fever

fatigue
