Hello,

Your daughter of six years old has started to cough as the common cold. However, if a cough persisted for two weeks then, there is more than a common cold. It explains the blood tests and chest x-ray her pediatrician suggested. The presence of bold line as haziness in her left para cardiac region is suggesting pneumonitis (inflammation/infection of the walls of the alveoli in the lungs). She needs prescription medicines together with a regular follow-up with her pediatrician. She should be okay in a week time after starting medications.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
