Brief Answer:
It is quite normal and nothing much to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the query and I can understand your concerns.
The given X-ray report is very well within the normal range expect for the comment “left basal prominent lung markings”. However prominent lung marking is a non specific non significant finding and may be due to minor infection or minor or fluid collection. It is not a sign of cancer or serious lung condition and no treatment is required either.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks

When you say it can be due to fluid collection do you mean to say fluid is accumulated in lungs ? I believe that is alarming ..
Can it be due to sinus infection or cold infection ?
Is it curable ? Does it require any further tests ?

No treatment is required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is not a serious concern and no treatment is required as you don’t have any major pulmonary symptom.
You can wait for couple of weeks and go for a repeat X-ray to check whether the change persists or not.

Brief Answer:
Repeat X-ray is for reassurance.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I asked for a repeat X-ray just for reassurance.
It absolutely a harmless finding and your symptoms are more of an upper respiratory tract or allergic not related to lungs. You didn’t seem to have any major lung diseases.
Avoid unnecessary anxiety...
