i have persistent cough  i had s chest x-ray, report indicating, there is subtle coarsening of bronchovascular markings in the right infrhilar region appearance may reflect bronchitic but there is no overt lobar collapse or consolidation, apart from this,cardiomediastinal contours and remaining lungs field appear clear
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of pneumonia is more in your case. Normally on chest x-ray, bronchi and vessels are not seen. But when bronchi are inflamed, their wall become edematous. Blood vessels supplying these inflamed bronchi carry more blood, so they are also visible on chest x-ray. When both these (bronchi and blood vessels) are prominent on chest x-ray, they are termed as prominent bronchovascular markings. And infection is the most likely cause for this. So you will need antibiotic, bucolic and expectorant Chat Doctor.  Get done repeat chest x-ray after 7 days of treatment to see for improvement. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
