Hi,
Report suggests that there is basal pneumonitis but this type of picture is also seen in a child suffering from tuberculosis infection, called primary complex.
So x-ray study and clinical symptoms should be correlated.
Blood testing for TC, DC, ESR shoild be carried out.
Mountex test will be of much important.
Consult pediatrician and get examined and investigated.
Ok and take care.
