Is Chest Congestion Despite A Normal X-ray Report A Concern?
Hi. For the past 5 weeks I have had a chest rattle cough. There has been phlegm and a bit of nose and ear congestion. I was sent for an x ray that came back clear on the left side but they didn’t do right hand side. There are no other symptoms. Maybe a bit of tirednesS. Is this something I should worry about? On a side note I had a one night stand 6 weeks ago. Is this chest cough a symptom of any type of primary HIV infection?? Sorry I am a worrier. Thank you

Hello,
There can be viral congestion with normal chest x-ray. So, as far as HIV threat is concerned, it is better to take a 4th generation. HIV test rather than being in dilemma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
