Lungs looks good. The spleen enlargement and collaterals mentioned might be persisting after liver transplantation. I would recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist/ liver transplant surgeon before proceeding with the CECT scan.

Possible portal hypertension and splenocaval shunts. Needs further workup and investigation.
You should consult gastroenterology specialist for further evaluation.
For expectoration he can take cough syrup like Reswas LS twice a day and pulmoclear tablet once a day for seven days. Maintain good oral hygiene, salime gargles and steam inhalation with karval plus vasocap.
