HOW ABOUT THIS SAFE? PLEASE ADVISE.
[|AI|]  HelloSign your son was a patient of pneumonia and that pneumonia resolved i.e. there is no any symptoms. In other words resolved pneumonia looks like cavities in lungs and few doctor reach in dilemma. If your son don't having any symptoms like COUGH, LOW GRADE FEVER (more than 20-30 days) , loss of appetite, sputum weight loss then there is no need of any CT SCAN (but this is my opinion). At least just for the diagnosis for tuberculosis (in lungs) I never advise anesthesia just for CT SCAN (but for pulmonary tuberculosis. With the help of stethoscope and clinical examination we can establish diagnosis. Sputum and blood examination are other parameters. Hope this will help you. Good luck.
