Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My father has a round inhomogeneous opacity in the right middle of the lung. He is taking Ceftum 600. How to treat him?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The prevailing cause of this condition often points to pneumonia. To address it, a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin 1 g every 12 hours for 10 days is necessary. Adequate fluid intake and rest are crucial during this period. Following the antibiotic regimen, a repeat X-ray should be conducted. If the opacity doesn't resolve, further investigation is warranted. A CT scan might be necessary to explore potential alternative causes, such as cysts or tumors.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
