My chest X-ray showed prominent bronchiovascular markings in both lungs and I'm scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia on Wednesday should I be concerned about how this might affect the procedure?

Prominent BVM can indicate chronic inflammation—inform anesthetist; surgery can proceed with proper precautions.

I'm really worried about an infiltrate found in the right upper lobe of my lung and I'm not quite sure what it means. The report mentioned something about small granulomata near the right second rib and the right hilum being slightly retracted upwards. Could this be something serious, and what should I do next?

I've been dealing with this cough since December 31st. It started with a sore throat and then turned into a cough and later came the colds. The cold has mellowed out now, but this persistent cough is bothering me. It feels like there are tiny hairs or dust particles stuck in my throat, and it's rough and dry, but not much phlegm. I've been taking Mucobron Forte capsules and they help a bit, but the cough's not gone yet and it's been 3 days. Should I keep taking them or maybe switch to Fluimucil? What do you think?

Continue those medicines for a week and rest your throat until you recover,sip hot water and dosalt water gargling for a better result.
