Your mother report suggests increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields
It may be due to infection,inflammation,aging etc.
It is important to rule out infective etiology.She need clinical correlation.
She need further tests like routine hemogram.Further investigations can be done if needed.
Empirically broad spectrum antibiotics should be given.Brochodilators can be given after evaluation.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Other findings are within normal limit.
Hope i have answered your query.
