What Do These Following Chest X-ray Findings Indicate?
Hi Doctor, my mother (age 69) is suffering from cold and cough. we saw a doctor, he had advised for chest X-Ray(P.A.View). As per the report 2 findings are highlighted 1) Mild infective changes noted in both lung fields. 2) Bothe Hilas are congested. Is there anything to worry. Pls suggest
According to x ray finding there might be chest infection like that of bronchitis or lung parenchyma infection
Chest pain and dyspnea like presentation not present Hence pneumonia less likely
She should be prescribed decongestant like phenylephrine for congestion relief and suitable antibiotic like cefixime or levofloxacine like broad spectrum antibiotic
Steam inhalation done three times a day
Daily take one tsp of ginger juice with honey
Strepsil or vitamin C lozenges will be beneficial
Clinical correlation needed for such x ray finding
Take care
Consult physician for examination
