Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your daughter might be having a respiratory infection. The small nodules mean there can be some inflammatory changes in the air spaces in lungs. Faint homogeneous radio opaque shadowing is also due to a mild infection. She can be treated with antibiotics for some days and should respond to treatment. You have not mentioned any fever or weakness, which if present indicates an ongoing infection. Please protect her from environmental extremes of climate and pollution.
