Hello
There are suspicious densities in right upper lobe of lung.It is important to rule out infective etiology.
Apicolordotic view of chest should be taken.Apicolordotic view is a special view of chest X-ray to visualize apical region of lungs.
This view is necessary because apical region is covered by bony ribs,clavicle etc.Normal chest X-ray (PA)can miss the findings.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.Firstly broad spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed.
