View allI'm a bit concerned because I got my x-ray report back today, and it says I have a ground glass appearance in the peripheral region of my left lung. I'm not really sure what this means or why it would happen. Could you help me understand this?

I've been dealing with this nonstop coughing for the last three days because of a cold, and it's honestly so annoying. It's making it really hard to sleep, and it happens every time I get sick. I struggle to cough up the mucus; it's like I'm trying, but nothing comes out. I've already tried different cough syrups and antibiotics, but nothing seems to work. What do you think is going on, and what else can I try?
Patient is advised syrup salbutomol 10 ml orally for 7 days, also sputum for AFB examination and chest xray pa view and complete blood count is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this persistent cough and was put on levofloxocin 500 mg antibiotics for 5 days, but there was no relief, so they switched me to pulmocef 500. Still, the cough hasnt improved at all. I've been tested for TB, and the results were negative, no fever so far, but I do have shivering hands sometimes. I've attached my CT scan reports for reference. Right now, I'm on Tacrolimus 1.75 BD, Cellcept 750 mcg BD, and wysolone 7.5 mg OD. Is there anything else I should be considering or any thoughts on what might be causing this?
Continue all the medications advised by the physician.
