Question 1

What can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?

My dad's 72 and already has some heart issues. Recently, he's been dealing with fluid retention in his lungs, and even though he's on all the necessary medications and seeing a cardiologist, we're not seeing much improvement. He can't sleep well, isn't eating much, and seems to be getting weaker. We're really worried.
