Hi, I understand your concern. The Chest X-ray you have shared is within normal limits. According to your history of febrile illness a few days back, your cough may be due to the post viral illness. The cough usually subsides on it's own in 2 weeks time but you may need expert consultation if it doesn't improve, since you may need inhaler therapy temporarily for resolution of the symptoms.
