Hello, increased density in chest xray means there is some change in the normal structure of the lung in that region. Either it could be an infection which we call as pneumonia. If you have symptoms like cough and fever going on from few days, most likely it can be infection seen in the xray. Or it can be tuberculosis for which u will need further check up and investigations like sputum examination. You can ask if you need any further clarification.
