Hello,
Homogeneous opacity means which have an equal amount of resistance to x-ray passage.
Pneumonia or pleural effusion or mass or cysts or solitary pulmonary nodules etc.
But in your case, it may be pleural effusion. So please consult your physician/paediatrician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
