General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Chest X-ray depicting 'Prominant bronchovascular markings in both lungs' with history of cough for more than a month duration is indicative of chronic lower respiratory tract infection.
It would be ideal to go for sputum culture and sensitivity test. Based on the nature of organism and sensitivity to the antibiotics, appropriate antibiotic needs to be chosen and its complete course needs to be taken.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
