What Does This Chest X-ray Report For Persistent Cough Indicate?

I. Have a terrible cough. Doc in box took X-ray and I have something like a fold in my lung? I don t understand that. She gave me cough med and antibiotic. Also albuterol sulfate inhalation solution, 0.083%. I ve had two treatments using a little machine today. I feel better afterwards. It s night now and my cough and chest feel awful. Can I give myself another treatment? I m 70, with no other health problems.

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the chest x-ray with some fold like thing in the lung indicates underlying lung infection either lobar pneumonia, pneumonitis or others.

* The antibiotics with albuterol inhalation via inhaler machine is the best therapy to cure it at earliest.

Over a period of time, you will get best results out of the same and supportive care should be exercised with

- deep breathing exercises and YOGA

- avoidance of active or passive smoking

- balanced nutritious diet to combat the immunity status

- control of blood sugar.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
