Dear i can understand your concern .
I would like to inform you that you can't say anything about mycoplasma on the basis is x -ray
only.For diagnosing which bacteria is involved, we need to do sputum examination and blood tests .
X ray can only tell if there is any area of haziness in lung field or not that is suggestive of pneumonia and many other diagnosis .
If your child has no fever or cough etc. Then there is no need to worry about that. You can only discuss about your problems with your physician . Specially about infection resolving or not.
Hope this will help you . If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me . Thanks for contacting HCM .
