I'm a bit worried about this digital chest X-ray report that shows prominent bronchovascular markings. Is this something I should be concerned about? How harmful could it be, and are there any things I can do to help with it?

I'm trying to make sense of a chest ultrasound report and figure out if a pleural effusion should be drained. Is there any way to tell how much fluid is too much, or any specific measurements I should be looking for? I'm really unsure about what indicates a need for drainage.

it should be done clinically

I'm really concerned because I was in the hospital a while back for serious shortness of breath. They did an X-ray and blood tests, and everything came back normal. But my doctor still put me on cefixime for 14 days and clonazepam for 30 days. It's been about 10 days now, and I thought I was getting better since my oxygen levels seem normal, but I'm still feeling short of breath and just really fatigued all the time. I can't run or do any exercise, and it's starting to worry me. How much longer might it take to really recover? Should I be thinking about trying any other meds or treatments?

Recovery is around 2-3 weeks.Continue all the medications.

I'm trying to make sense of my mom's test results and I'm really worried. Her sputum test for AFB culture came back negative after three weeks, but the Genexpert test showed positive. The CT scan also revealed she has a "tree in bud" pattern infection along with a small mass lesion. I'm confused and concerned if this points to TB, some other kind of infection, or even something like cancer. Could you help explain what all this might mean?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
