Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a severe cough and mucus formation which was yellow. The doctor had prescribed antibiotics, a Salbutamol tablet, and allergy tablets. Now that cough has reduced but I feel some heaviness in the back right-hand side when waking up in the morning. When I visited the doctor they had advised me to take an X-ray. Later they said there is slight pneumonia and to continue antibiotics (Azithromycin) for five days.

Also, I have completed my antibiotics dose for four days, still left with one more day. The cough is not there currently and is better. I am attaching an X-ray that was taken for your advice. Would like to have a second opinion on the X-ray report.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

In attached X-ray report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), there is presence of slight consolidation in right side. So, it is suggestive of pneumonia like infection. For that, you need to complete antibiotic course. If clinically improved well, then no need for further work up.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
