Hi My Mother Had Severe Cold And Cough When She

Question: Hi My mother had severe cold and cough when she visited XXXXXXX two months ago. After a course of azithromycin her symptoms improved except she just had dry cough at night. Last week she had cough with blood . I tooke her to urgent care they prescribed anti-biotics (Doxycycline) and cough syrup Promethazine. Also, they asked for a Chest X-Ray to rule out any other serious condition. X-Ray came back with a 2.3 cm lung nodule or scar tissue in left upper lung and recommended a follow up x-ray after 3-4 months or a Chest CT- Scan. CT-Scan came back with a scar tissue in upper left lung but has a 4 mm nodule in lower left lung. Nodule is visible clearly on the HRCT ct-scan slide (96-97-98) (1.25 mm lung) . But slide 99-100 looks like hazy or patchy region posterior to the nodule. Does this mean it is a ground glass opacity nodule or nodule is clear this is another region? CT-Scan does not mention Ground Glass Opacity and I am not a doctor to make judgement. It has been stressful for me and everyone in my family. I would like some feedback on this, I have been reading so many journals for so many things and I am just worried. By the way, cough in blood reduced very second day and after third day there was no more blood in cough

She did not have any TB pneumonia I cannot recall a diagnosed one but she mentioned she had sever cough for a month when she was in her twenties so that was around 40+ years ago.

Also she was on Novo Norm for a month and half until 17th Dec 2018. I read it has upper respiratory infection and post nasal drip side effect. I did not attached other slide from CT which has Patchy Ground Glass Opacity and report attributes it to either aspiration or infection that one in in lingula slide #110
