General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
What is his age? what wre the symptoms? For how long he is suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? fever? Any other lymph node swelling in ur body? any chest pain?
It is very difficult to comment on it without a proper history. there are a lot of differentials of parahilar densities.
The impression BILATERAL PARAHILAR PNEUMONIA is self explanatory. Is there any chest pain, cough and fever??? It mean pneumonia involving both lungs and is localized around the hilum of both lungs... hilum is the part of lung where the vessles and bronchi enter to lungs< lay man defintion>
you should meet PULMONOLOGIST so that he can be managed appropriately.....
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain. and continue with your antibiotics
may he get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
