I've been going through my chest X-ray report from a few days ago, and it mentions something about "Rt. Infra Hilar Congestion." Should I be worried about this? And what kind of treatment would be recommended? Right now, I'm only experiencing some pain in my right ear and jaw, but no other symptoms.

The finding of "right infra-hilar congestion" on your chest X-ray suggests mild congestion in the lung area near the right hilum, often related to inflammation or fluid retention. It doesn't seem immediately serious, but given your ear and jaw pain, it could indicate an upper respiratory or ENT-related issue. I recommend seeing a doctor for a full evaluation and appropriate treatment, as medications will depend on the underlying cause.

I'm really worried because the patient just got over COVID about five days ago. I'm trying to find out if they also recovered from COVID pneumonia or if there's still something lingering. Can you help explain how we can know for sure if they're in the clear?

for that you should do chest xray
