Also i am not face any kind pain in chest. Is it symptoms of TB? kindly help me please.....
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Para cardiac consolidation on right side can be due to1. Bacterial pneumonia2. TB3. Aspiration pneumonia. So we need to find out the causative organism for proper diagnosis and treatment. So get done sputum examination for TB and culture to find out bacteria other than TB bacilli. If sputum production is not there than get done Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis. So your right para cardiac consolidation can be due to tuberculosis or other bacterial infection.  Chances of tuberculosis is less in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
