I Cath and welcome. A shadow on your lungs can just be a result of the infection in your lungs. They come and go. There can be other reasons and what I believe as happened is your Doctor is eliminating other causes.

Ouch I popped two ribs last year it was agony for a few weeks but will go I got to admit I cried lol you just might have the infection showing on lung still and they are just being cautious try not to worry although its easier said than done I hope you feel a lot better soon xx
