Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned. Infiltration is mostly seen with lung infection.
So possibility of lung infection, pneumonia is more in your case.
So start broad spectrum antibiotic like levofloxacin or azithromycin once a day for 7 days.
Get done repeat chest x ray after 7 days. If it is improving then no need to worry. But if infiltration is still there or increasing then you will need CT scan and Bronchoscopy to diagnose the type of infection.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
