Welcome to the asthma community!

Your grandson has probably had a severe lung infection that left scar tissue, which they now saw on a chest x-ray. A CT-scan will reveal more information about this lesion. There are other causes to lesions too, but I don't believe age determines when you acquire such things. Lesions are found in the body more and more commonly as one ages, and many times they are benign and do nothing but exist.

Most importantly is that his asthma is well controlled, in order to avoid any bad exacerbations/infections from occurring.
