After seeing my chest x-ray the physician suspected about my health and told me that I may be suffering from tuberculosis (TB). But there was not clear sympton of TB in my health.After one year in July 2011 I started to sneezing and coughing with light fever. I got in mind the physician's doubt of last year.So I got again chest x ray and got no sympton of TB and started to take some medicine prescribed by the physician. In x ray report there was some lines in report as below: -
'' The hillar glands increased either side broncho-vascular markings are prominants in all zones.''
What problem indicate this report and what type of treatment I should take? Please help me.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.
Prominent bronchovascular markings and prominent hila are commonly seen with asthma.
You are also having sneezing and coughing.
So possibility of allergic asthma is more in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) is also beneficial in your case.
Don't worry, you will be alright. No need to worry for tuberculosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
