I'm a bit worried about my latest lung X-ray results which mention an "apicolordotic view is suggested" for some pneumonia in both parahilar regions and a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction in the right lower lung, affecting both hemidiaphragms. Could you explain what all this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?

The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.

I'm on ATT since March 16, 2022, after being diagnosed with Pulmonary TB. I've had a persistent fever and night chills, but since starting treatment, my symptoms like weakness and shortness of breath have improved. Despite this, I've noticed my temperature still reads between 99.9 and 100.5 in the evenings, even though I don't feel feverish. It's been about a month, and I'm wondering how long this elevated temperature might last. Could this be normal while on Akurit4?

It's making it really hard to run or even catch my breath sometimes. Could this be a chest infection or something else? What can I do to help clear this up?

I'm a student nurse currently working with a patient who has category 1 pulmonary tuberculosis. Their x-ray mentioned "fibroreticular densities with cicatricial changes," and I'm not really sure what that means. Could you explain it to me? Also, what kind of breath sounds should I be listening for in this situation?
