I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a cough, fever, and breathing problems for the past three months. I've been to the hospital and they said it's pneumonia, but even with the medication, I don't feel any better. Can you tell me what the best treatment would be?

I'm trying to get a job in Dubai but during the medical exam, they said I was unfit because of bronchi vascular markings in my chest x-rays. I've been on medication for about three weeks but haven't seen any improvement. I did another x-ray and it's still the same. Can you give me advice on what I should do? I really need to clear the medical exam.

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having with my lungs. A year ago, I had an X-ray that showed my lungs fields are broncho vascular prominent, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath since then. My doctor didn't prescribe any medicine or treatment at the time, and now I'm unsure what to do. Is this condition treatable? What steps should I take to manage my symptoms?
