Hi and welcome to HCM,
You daughter has respiratory infections. This is a step stone
for primary complex (TB in children) which is common condition in childrens. Blood vessels in the hilum are engorged in hilar congestion. If condition is progressing it will lead to hilar adenitis. Pneumonitis refers to lung tissue inflammation. Extensive treatment is necessary.
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
