Hello,
Only depending upon the hazing it is difficult to say what it is. It may be pneumonia or solid nodule or malignancy or hydatid cyst or loculated effusion etcetera. Get it done HRCT then you come to know the cause for the above problem. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
