Hi,
With the question “What does the chest x-ray result with a slightly fluid level in the lung field mean? ", the doctor answered as follows:
The signs you described above are seen in the case of a lung abscess in the purulent drainage stage, an infection on the background of an old cavernous lesion, a lesion from the mediastinum encroaching on the mediastinum. in the lung field, a hernia of the intestines or stomach into the chest, ... in cases where it is not clear, the doctor will recommend additional computed tomography of the chest. So you still need to see a doctor or talk to your treating doctor for advice.
If you still have questions about the results of chest X-ray showing the level of fluid in the lung field, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
