Dry Cough. Chest X-ray Shows Suspicious Densitis In Left Upper Portion, Apico Lordotic View Suggested. Explain
hello
I recently had my chest xray in which it says suspicious densities found in the left upper portion, heart is not enlarged and apico lordotic view is suggested. I checked the symptoms of Tuberculosis like lost of weight, heavy sweating at night, fever in the afternoon, or pain in the back and I dont have any of those symptoms.
Though I have some dry cough of 2 weeks now and no phlegm either. what could that be?

Hi,
Having your abnormal chest x-ray requires evaluation of your case.
This might be due to tuberculosis, pneumonitis etc.
Some blood work is required.
Consult Pulmonologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
