Thank you!
We have a CT for her lung scheduled tomorrow morning. Her pulmonologist is part of one of the only two aerodigestive teams in the state and is very hard to get ahold of (understandably).
What conditions could cause this RML narrowing? And if the RML is showing the inflammation, is it normal to do the XXXXXXX on the RLL instead, like they did for her?

This kind of narrowing is mostly seen after infection like TB or fungal infection.
But it can be foreign body aspiration or since birth.
And yes it is normal to do XXXXXXX in her. No need to worry for this.
