Brief Answer:
Likely to be a viral infection.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. The prominent bronchovascular markings usually occur in case of viral chest infections manifesting with common cold. Steam inhalation is the mainstay of treatment and irrespective of treatment it will take 5-7 days for recovery. Taking some antiallergic like cetirizine one tablet once daily for next few days can help (should be available at any medicine shop). Avoid cold temperatures.

Let me know if I could help further.
