Hello

There are faint patchy opacities in right apical region of lung.It is important to rule out infective etiology.
So,you are advised for apicolordotic view of chest.Apicolordotic view is a special view of chest X-ray to visualize apical region of lungs.
This view is necessary because apical region is covered by bony ribs,clavicle etc.Normal chest X-ray (PA)can miss the findings.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.Firstly broad spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed.

Other findings like heart,pulmonary vessels,diaphragm,trachea,aorta,bony thorax are normal.

Take Care
