[|Human|] My son is 7 years old . Today we have taken a chest x ray in that report they have given, both lungs fields show parahilar vascular prominence and bilky hila.and faint haziness is seen in right lower zone, paravaradiac region s/o evolving area of consolidation. Impression: f/s/o evolving patch of pneumonitis in right lower zone. Please answer what it means and what is the treatment
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I want to ask you some questions. 1. Is your son symptomatic? 2. Is he having fever with chest symptoms? 3. Since how many days he is symptomatic? The x-ray report is clearly suggestive of lung infection (pneumonia) in right lower part of lung. So if yours one is having chest symptoms like coughing, sputum production, high respiratory rate with fever since 1-2 week than chances of bacterial pneumonia are high. Treatment needs antibiotics, cough suppressant, anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. So better to consult pediatrician now and start the treatment. Keep him HY
