Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.
It is showing prominent bronchovascular markings (BVMs). It is commonly seen with inflammation of the airways (bronchitis).
No need to worry for lung infection like tuberculosis or pneumonia and lung cancer.
You are having bronchitis only.
For this you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for the treatment.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
