Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1] first of all do not panic.
2] Blunting of costophrenic angle needs to be correlated with her clinical condition.
3] She needs to have thorough clinical check up from chest physician.
4] This X ray finding can be due to collection of fluid near the lung base.Mostly due to some kind of infection.
5] It should be confirmed if she has chest pain, cough, breathlessness like symptoms.
6] I will suggest Tab AMOXY -CLAV 625 mg 2 times a day for 7 days ,till you get further assistance.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
