Hello
Your latest chest X-ray findings suggests doubtful opacities in right apical region.Lesions are superimposed on right 3rd posterior rib.
There are also linear oapcities in left upper lobe.Present findings in left lung are same as compared to previous X-ray,there is no improvement.
I suggest apicolordotic view of chest if there is suspicious densities in apical region of lung.
Apicolordotic view is a special view of chest X-ray to visualize apical region of lungs.
This view is necessary because apical region is covered by bony ribs,clavicle etc.Normal chest X-ray (PA)can miss the findings.
Cough there weeks ago may be related to chest X-ray findings.It is important to search for signs of infection at present.
Your condition need clinical correlation and further investigations.
Take Care
