Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Your x ray is suggestive of Infection in right lung.
On x ray appearance, it seems more of tuberculosis.
So I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Sputum examination for tuberculosis.
2. Bronchoscopy and BAL ( Bronchoalveolar lavage ) analysis if sputum is not available.
For tuberculosis, you need to take atleast 6 months of treatment.
You need to take isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol for 2 months, followed by Rifampicin and isoniazid for 4-6 months.
Since this is long course, better to consult pulmonologist and start appropriate treatment and do regular follow up.
