Hey, so I just got an HRCT chest scan for Covid-19, and it turns out there's subsegmental atelectasis in the posterior segment of my right upper lobe. Can someone tell me what this means? What might have caused it? Is this something serious like cancer? And is there a way to treat it? Also, where can I find a top doctor for this? A little backgroundI had TB back in 2010 and was treated for it, plus I do smoke.

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
