Is this X ray okay?
My father started with sneezing followed by cough and developed a fever. Highest temperature recorded was 103.5. Took Azithromycin 500. After that no fever. On the last day of Antibiotics, coughed up fresh blood twice with phelgm on violent coughing. Thereafter no blood. Consulted Dotor who suggested Chest X-ray PA View. Chest X-ray shows mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and horizontal fissure. Attached photo of X-ray. Doctor gave more antibiotics and steroid. My main concern is a lingering cough. There is persistent cough with thick phelgm which doesn't seem to stop even after so much of antibiotics. Please suggest. Please explain the X ray. Is it serious?
