Good day sir,I just need to know what minimal perihilar infilterate mean in a result of a toddler that just went through a chest x-ray and what treatment can be given to such a toddler?And also sighted in the result is mild pneumonitis.thank you very much
Hi...perihelia infiltrates need not be treated. It is a very common normal finding on chest X-ray, or it can occur in any kid who's coming out of a viral illness. If the kid is active, no fast breathing, no feeding difficulty, no bluish discoloration of fingertips or lips.... You need not worry at all. Hope I have answered your queries. If you can upload an image of the chest X-ray on this website to me, I will be glad to help you further. Regards -
