Child Has Hazy Lungs On X-ray, Sick, Cough, Sleeping Difficult, Congested. Told Have Virus
my 1yr old son had an xray of his lungs and the dr said it was hazzy and it meant that he had some sort of virus in his lung... is this correct? my son has been sick for over a wk and he coughs until he cant breathe and he cries out of nowhere and he cant sleep.. when he coughs it sounds like he has lots of congestion and sometimes coughs as if he were garggaling water.. please help
Haziness on X-ray is due to lung infection which is known as pneumonia.
It is caused by a virus or bacteria in children in most of the times.
Continue the medication as advised by the Pediatrician for the child problems.
Look for any danger signs like increasing respiratory rate, bluish discoloration of hand and feet, respiratory distress and if you find any abnormality consult your doctor as early as possible.
