It says an X-ray revealed a lung infection for which she is being treated with antibiotics. The queen has been in poor health for years and is known to have suffered a stroke.
Bhumibol, the world's longest serving monarch, died on Oct. 13 after battling several illnesses for years. The country is observing a one-year mourning period.
