Yes, the doctor wants to say that there are glound glass opacities...this is one type of terminology in CT chest usually suggests any acute condition..there are many causes for it. & yes, you should consult the chest specialist. As it may not get benefited with antibiotics only...so, just consult chest physician & he will individualise your treatment & will find out the exact cause of your illness
