A member asked:
Got lung infection twice in 4 months, 104 fever, got better with antibiotics both times; had lung xray, how can i see on xray if my lungs are ok?

Pneumonia: Follow-up x-rays are unnecessary, can be misleading and will expose you to unnecessary radiation. Infiltrates on the chest film may persist for weeks after you are cured of infection. What is most important are your state of well being.
