Brief Answer:

Pneumonia needs to be treated with antibiotics

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I assume that you are talking about a patchy consolidation in the lungs. In that case, it indicates pneumonia and needs to be treated with a course of antibiotics.

I would be able to suggest further if you can elaborate on the matter.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
