Child Having Pneumonia. Chest X-ray Done. Impression Of Bronchopneumonia. On Cough Syrup, Antibiotics. Time To Heal?

Hi good morning,I would like to ask about the condition of my 2 year and 5 months old son who is having a pneumonia.That was his current diagnosis by his attending doctor.Chest X-ray done came up with an impression of bronchopneumonia with hilar adenopathy.But a year ago he also suffers from pneumonia in which there is haziness in both peri hilar and both paracardiac region revealed in his X-ray a year ago.Was given medication to take at home.then was about to follow up which happened failed to go for a follow up check up because of the condition gets better already during that time.Then lately just a week ago he felt sick with fever and coughThat's made my wife to go for a check up.Then Came up with bronchopneumonia with hilar adenopathy.The diagnosis is pneumonia.Again he was given medication to take at home.Cough syrup then antibiotics.To consume all the prescribed medicines after they go for a follow up check up.The doctor examined again And find out that it is now going to be clear.She just told my Wife to consume the remaining medicines then after it's okay already.Wondering that still sometimes after All meds consumed my son still cough but compared to previous condition this time it is more likely a light cough with frequent sneezing.Can I ask If the above mentioned symptoms still connected to his previous condition which is pnuemonia?Or was it possibly that it was already totally treated especially his previous impression of chest X-ray revealed bronchopneumonia with hilar adenopathy?What is the best thing to do to know whether it was completely healed.I am very much affected as a father since I can't witness his condition because I am far away from them.I just want to prevent him from any untoward complication.How dangerous is having hilar AdenopAthy?Is it completely cured already?As the doctor told my wife is going to be clear already as to their last check up.Please let me know about my queries to do the right thing for my son.Thank you and Godbless

Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
i have a large number of patients which behave like this
recurent attacks means tht the child is allergic to something
the explanation is tht child need milk (only mothers brest milk for 2 years,and after that he does not need milk but here everybody add cow milk in diet as it is animal protein and causes allergy and recurent chest infection ,if you withdraw milk and diry completely from diet f child after 3-4 wk the symptomps will be resolved and there will be no recurence
hilar lymphadenopathy ill resolve slowly when there is no recurence for long time
try it and get benefit of the theory
I find this answer helpful
