Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
After assessing the findings of both x-ray reports, it clearly indicates an ongoing of severe infection called 'pneumonia'. It is a bacterial infection which needs to he treated with appropriate antibiotics. You need to take it as a course for specified period.
Kindly consult Pulmonologist or Physician in this regard for proper management.
Wish you good health.
