  2. Anyway Lung abscesses I found aforesaid is correct only.

    "Pulmonary abscesses resulting from aspiration of infective material are much more common on the right side (more vertical airways) than on the left, and most are single. On the right side, they tend to occur in the posterior segment of the upper lobe and in the apical segments of the lower lobe, because these locations reflect the probable course of aspirated material when the patient is recumbent."
