My aunt had fever and cough 2 weeks back. I accompanied her to a doctor for a check up. The physician examined my aunt and gave a series of test such as cbc, urinalysis, ecg and chest x-ray. He also gave a mucolytic drug for my aunt to expel the phlegm because my aunt was already taking antibiotic.. After we had taken all the result, we went to the the doctor for follow up check up..The chest X-ray shows- suspicious densities are seen in the right apex. Suggest apicolordotic view. The doctor saw this result and the x-ray film..and he advised to repeat another x-ray after 3 mos.and prescribed a vitamin for my aunt. But until now my aunt is still coughing..and i m worried about things that i have just read here about the meaning of this suspicious densities.what should I do?
Thanks for your question, I am Chat Doctor Carlson. Reading through your quarry I would say at first sight your aunt has pneumonia which is most at times caused by bacteria and the right management is by the usage of antibiotics, bucolic Chat Doctor.  However, the cough might take a few days to subside after the fever and chest pains if there are any. In case of persistent cough and fever, there might be a need for a change in the type of antibiotics like from Amoxicillin tablets to Erythromycin tablets and if this still does not work I would advise you consult a neurologist for a sputum exam and possibly an endoscopy. The location of opacities at the apex could be suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis or pulmonary tumors. So I would advise for neurologist consultation. Good luck.
