Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
His chest x ray is suggestive of lung infection (pneumonia).
Since his cough is not improved, better to get done repeat chest x ray to rule out worsening of pneumonia.
If chest x ray is clear or improving then no need to worry. Continue asthma drugs.
But chest x ray is worsening then he will need higher Intravenous antibiotics.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
