Hello,
The heterogeneous patchy opacity in para cardiac region seems most probably of infective origin as bronchiectasis or pneumonia.
As there is symptomatic improvement with absence of other alarming signs, I request to continue the current medications and be in regular follow up with the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
