It needs to be evaluated based on your symptoms. On CT, Nodular opacities bilaterally could mean infection or any other granulomatous disease. We need to evaluate based on your symptoms, as it could mean just a simple infection or something else. As it is bilateral, a component of immunosupression should also be considered like diabetes.
Next Steps
please provide detailed history and picture of CT scan if possible
