Hi,

Densities on an x-ray film represent different causes, but these are to be correlated with what your son is experiencing right now. Let's say he has been coughing for a while now with fever and poor appetite. This presentation is typical of pneumonia, which is an infection of the lungs, and would show densities in an x-ray film.

X-ray findings are to be compared with the patient's symptoms and signs for a correct diagnosis of a disease entity.

I hope he is doing fine, and I suggest a consult with a Doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Daryl Derick B. Dizon, General & Family Physician
