Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Homogenous opacity could be due to pneumonia, consolidation, pleural effusion, mass lesion etc. You may need further investigation to arrive at the cause of opacity.

Along with fever, cough with yellowish sputum, the X-ray says that you may be having pneumonia (lung infection) of the left side, lower part. You will need antibiotics. Eat well, drink plenty of water. Consult your Doctor regarding appropriate treatment.
