Having Asthma. Chest X Ray Showed Large Spots By The Side Of Chest. What Could It Be?
My family and I are Americans living in China. My son has asthma . He has been sick since we arrived here. We took him to a big hospital in Beijing who gave us more medication for his asthma. He had a coughing episode and we rushed him to another hospital. They took a chest xray and said he has pneumonia . I am concerned because there were large spots on his x ray, they even looked at his clothes thinking it was metal. I am concerned what they were.We are doing daily IV medication and antibiotics . The spots were by his heart on the right side. Do you know what they could be?

the uncontrolled asthma COULD LEAD YOU TO CHEST INFECTIONS
THE OILS AND OTHER THINGS OF CHINESE MATERIALS MAY NOT BE TOLERATED BY THE CHILD AND IT BECOMES UNCONTROLLED ASTHA EVEN YOU ARE USING MEDICINES FOR LONG
YOU HAVE TO SUPRESS INFECTION
MAY BE THE ANTIBIOTICS GIVEN IV CONTROL IT AND THE WHITE SPOTS IN CHEST ARE INFECTED AREAS
THEN AFTER CONTROLLING INFECTION YOU HAVE TO RETITRATE THE DOSAGES OF ASTHMA MEDICINES
MAY WE HANGE OR TITRATE DOSES DEPWENDING ON THE POSION AFTYER CLEARING OF CHES INFECTION
NORMALLY IT TAKES 3 WK WITH ANTIBIOTICS TO DISOLVE THE INFECTIVE OPACITY IN LUNGS
