Hi Leony.
A very good question.
You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.
Only X-ray is never sufficient to comment upon , other wise the radiologist would have given you the final report.
From the report this can be tuberculosis, after getting OK from pneumonia.
The contrast enhanced CT scan will help to come to a conclusion...
