I'm a bit confused about my chest X-ray report, and I could use some help understanding it. It mentions both lung fields being clear, which sounds good, but then there's something about "prominent marking" seen. Should I be worried about what that means? Also, they noted both girls are normal and no lymphadenopathy, which I assume is good news? They say the CP angles are clear and the soft tissues and bony thorax are normal, too. Does everything seem okay here, or is there anything I should be concerned about or follow up on?

I've been dealing with some chest issues after a trip to Delhi about two months ago, probably because of the pollution there. Ive got this persistent chest pain that feels like its stinging in the center and a couple of spots on the left and right. Theres also this thin, transparent, frothy mucus that comes out, especially when I get irritated, but strangely, Im not coughing at all. I've been in touch with doctors at the civil hospital in Gandhinagar. Theyve done a couple of chest X-rays, sputum tests, and one CBNet, and everything came back clearno TB or anything. But the mucus and post-nasal drip wont go away, and the chest pains gotten worse over the last couple of days. What could be going on?
