Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Chest X-ray showing increased density in the right upper lung field with trachea in mid line suggest pneumonia in right upper lobe . Investigation like complete blood count,sputum culture and sensitivity test and a course of Broad-spectrum antibiotic for 5-7 days would be justified.
