Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
Your x ray report suggestive of densities in left suprahilar region.
This can be due to
1. Enlarged mediastinal lymphnodes
2. Infection (pneumonia).
To rule out this, better to get done CECT thorax.
If mediastinal lymphnodes are enlarged then you need endoscopic biopsy of the lymphnodes for the diagnosis.
But if it is Infection then get done sputum culture and sensitivity to isolate the causative organism and starting of appropriate antibiotics.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
