The radiographic findings may resolve after clinical improvement. IF you are experiencing respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough and shortness of breath, please see your PCP for assessment. It is a reassuring that you are feeling better, but if the x ray is not improved in 8 weeks, additional imaging may be indicated.
