Hello,

Thank you for your query at Doctorspring.com

Your chest x ray is not suggestive of any pneumonia or patch that warrants antibiotics. However a trachea bronchitis that warrants antibiotics might appear normal on chest X-RAY.
Your chest x ray shows signs of hyperinflation, or copd ( Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ) with a paucity of blood vessels in upper field.
I suggest you to stop smoking.
Kindly get your GP to arrange for a sputum gram stain and culture so that we can tailor antibiotics accordingly- if needed.
Kindly get back to me with reports,
Regards.
