Hello.
X-ray test results showing a spot film in both upper lobes indicates that the X-ray showed a dark spot in both the left and right upper lobes of the lungs. This could be indicative of a lung infection, such as pneumonia, or could be due to a foreign body, such as an inhaled object.
It is important to follow up with a physician for further testing and evaluation. Has she undergone any more tests?
Its serious condition or not its a normal or not

The term "spot film both upper lobes" may indicate that specific areas of the upper lung lobes were captured in the X-ray images, but it doesn't provide sufficient information to determine the seriousness or normalcy of the condition. Various conditions, such as infections, inflammations, tumors, or other lung-related issues, could appear as spots on the X-ray.
The interpretation of X-ray results requires specialized knowledge and should be done by a qualified healthcare provider, such as a radiologist or a pulmonologist. They can analyze the X-ray findings in the context of person's medical history, symptoms, and other test results to provide an accurate diagnosis.
Best regards.
