I'm a bit concerned about this white spot that showed up on my chest x-ray about 25 days ago. It was on my left upper lobe lung area. My doctor had me on antibioticsclindamycin and moxifloxacinfor three weeks, and the spot seems to be getting smaller and less noticeable. I'm wondering if I should keep taking the antibiotics until the spot is completely gone. The doctor said it was a patch from a previous infection. Does this mean it's benign since it's not getting bigger, just shrinking?

I'm really worried about my husband's chest pain. The doctor said it's a lung allergy and put him on a one-month course. But he still feels a tightness in his chest every day, and he's really weak. He's had heart checkups like ECG and BP, and everything seems fine. I'm sharing his reports. Could you help me understand what's going on with him?
