If you have no fever this might resolve in a few days for overwhelming chance it is not pneumonia. If not pl see your doc

Chest xray done for pre-op. Xray showed a "subtle 7mm nodular density" in the upper right lobe. This was not seen on the portable xray two months ago when I was in the hospital with COVID pneumonia. Now I need to go for a CT. What could it be?
