Had Wheezing And Infection In Lungs. Took Amoxicillan. Lung Cancer?

Thanks for your query.
It is good that you are improving with antibiotics, you must continue with them.
It will be good if you go for HRCT (High resolution CT scan ) chest ,to rule out the infection , instead of X XXXXXXX
HRCT is more informative, it covers from up to down and anterior to posterior completely , even if there is a small patch of infection or if there is cancer , will be ruled out.
X rays take a picture at a place and does not give complete information like Ct scan.
The only thing is CT scan is costlier then a X XXXXXXX
Secondly,It is not necessary that if only one lung is involved so there are more chances of cancer.
In addition to antibiotic also take Bronchodilator medicines or inhalers and medicines for symptomatic relief of cough after discussing with your doctor.
Get well soon.
If in doubt do reply.
