Thanks for your question on HCM.
I want to ask you some questions.
1. Is your son symptomatic?
2. Is he having fever with chest symptoms?
3. Since how many days he is symptomatic?
The x ray report is clearly suggestive of lung infection (pneumonia) in right lower part of lung.
So if your sone is having chest symptoms like coughing, sputum production, high respiratory rate with fever tsince 1-2 week than chances of bacterial pneumonia are high.
Treatment needs antibiotics, cough suppressant, anti inflammatory drugs.
So better to consult pediatrician now and start the treatment. Keep him hydrated.
