Hi,
Thanks for asking.

I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.

Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:

1. It looks to be normal CT changes. At this age, these changes are normal.

2. Due to flu, she had weakness and was possible dizziness. Improvement in hydration and diet intake should be adequate. She will require rest.

Not to worry about CT scan findings. Its normal.

Hope it helps.
