Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
X-rays are inconclusive you need sputum sample tests or bronchoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment will start only if they are positive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
