What Causes The Appearance Of Spot On The Chest X Ray After Recovering From Bronchitis?
my daughter was in the er two days ago and recieved a chest x ray. She was clear for any phemonia or brochitis but the ER doctor found a small quater size circle on her right chest and he didn't know what it was. It was sent to radiology and her Pediatrician told me it was something called a Hilum something that is common in a pediatric x ray is this true and why have they not noticed this in prior x rays?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly talking about hilar lymphnode.
Bronchitis can cause enlargement in hilar Lymphadenopathy.
And this gives spot on chest x ray.
It is common on children.
So no need to worry much.
It resolves itself once bronchitis is resolved.
So don't worry about this spot.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
