What Does Bilateral Broncho Hilar Prominent In The Report Suggest?

My chest X-ray PA shows bilateral broncho hilar prominent, no focal parenchymal lesson seen, costophrenic angles are clear, cardiac size is normal, the rib cage is normal, soft tissues are normal. I am a COPD patient and underwent treatment for chest congestion in hospital two weeks. After two before review the X-ray report says this.

Hi.
Pradeep I can understand your concern.As you are a patient of COPD and had undergone treatment for Chest congestion recently.So this BrochoHilar prominence may be the consequence of Recent Chest Congestion/Infection you had.Changes in X Rays can remain for few days even after resolution of symptoms.If you don't have fever or cough at the moment,there is no need to worry.If you have these symptoms, see your Medical Specialist for possibility of Chest Infection.
I hope your query has been answered.
Wish you good health.
