I've been told that my X-ray shows bilateral prominent hila with prominent bronchovascular markings in both of my lung fields. Is this something I should be worried about? What does it mean for my health? I've also been experiencing shortness of breath for the past 10 days. Could this be related? How can I address these issues?

For a 2-year-old child, the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D3 is 600-800 IU (International Units) per day. _Giving 400 IUmL (1 mLday) is within the safe range_. However, it's essential to monitor your child's Vitamin D levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. Excessive Vitamin D intake can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms like: 1. Nausea and vomiting 2. Abdominal pain 3. Headache 4. Fatigue 5. Weakness To ensure safety: 1. _Consult your pediatrician_: Before giving your child any supplements, consult with your pediatrician to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor Vitamin D levels_: Regularly check your child's Vitamin D levels to avoid over-supplementation. 3. _Follow the recommended dosage_: Adhere to the recommended dosage, and avoid exceeding it.

I've just got the results from my premedical checkup for a job in the Gulf, and the X-ray showed that I have prominent broncho vascular markings in both lungs. I had a lot of phlegm when I was a kid, but that was sorted out a long time ago. I dont have any signs of tuberculosis or asthma, my weight and appetite are both good, and I havent had any fevers. My doctor said its not a disease, comparing it to a scar from an old injury. What does this mean? Should I be worried or is it nothing to stress over?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .
