I really need expert advice on this matter.. my baby is 10 months old.. he had cough problem last week.. dr. asked to get x ray done.. x ray report showed that he has infection in his lungs (impression: Bilateral consolidation) after that we got his CT scan done which says there is no abnormality in his lungs, no infection.. what should I do. dr. is giving strong antibiotics and injections though as per CT scan there is no infection. am attaching the CT scan report..

Question

Accepted Answer

many times after starting antibiotics there might be resolution of the problem. so there is no need to worry and just complete the course of medicines and the child should be fine

Answer

many times a very fine consolidations may not be visible properly on CT scan. there comes the importance of clinical examination. if the child is having difficulty in breathing as well as the doctor is able to hear altered respiratory sounds the doctor will give medicine to that
