welcome to Health care magic.
1.The densities can be seen in case of pneumonia, cardiac causes, and infective causes ( tuberculoses - but will have more definitive ).
2.The opacities are also seen after a healed infection ( previously infected cases ).
3.Only thing you have to worry is if there is TB, if his doctor has not asked for sputum test means its general infections.
4.For which you don't have to worry , it will not infect the little one.
5.For malignancy more workup needed like CT chest.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
