I recently had a chest x-ray and it showed that there are prominence bronchovascular markings. I'm a bit worried about what this means. If I start taking medication, will it help cure this condition?

View allMy dad just got a positive corona test result, but apart from a fever hovering around 99-100F, he doesn't really have any other symptoms. It's been a week since the test, and to be safe, we got an X-ray done. The report mentioned something about "Prominent branchovascular markings bilaterally." He's quarantining at home at the moment. Can you help me understand what those markings mean? Also, he's diabetic, but it's pretty well managed. I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else we should be worried about.
The prominent branchovascular markings in the X-ray report suggest some mild changes in the blood vessels of the lungs, which can sometimes occur due to infections like COVID-19. Since your father is asymptomatic except for the mild fever and his diabetes is under control, its good that he's in quarantine. Monitoring his symptoms and maintaining regular blood sugar checks will be important during his recovery.

I'm a bit worried because last week I started having watery eyes and sneezing, but no cough at that time. The sneezing and watery eyes stopped a couple of days ago, and now I've developed a cough. The thing is, it's not like a regular coughit's neither wet nor dry, and it doesnt happen all the time. My oxygen levels are usually around 98, but they've dropped to 96, 97, and 96. When I lie down, it even goes to 93, 94, and 95. Should I consider getting an X-ray? Also, I have a history of GERD problems. What do you suggest?
Azeflo nasal spray is advised for 7 days ,7ml in both the nostrils.Also tab pan d orally,before food for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 14 days is advised to the patient.

I had a right-sided pleural effusion back in July 2015, and even though I'm off medication now, I still feel pain on the right side when I take a deep breath or yawn. It doesn't feel normal. My last ESR was 10, done in January 2016. Can you help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing residual pain from your previous pleural effusion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you may benefit from using a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like diclofenac (Voltaren) gel applied to the affected area for localized relief. It's important to follow the recommended dosage instructions for any medication you take. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
