So, I just got the results from a chest x-ray and it says I have "prominent bronchovascular markings." Everything else seems normal, but should I be concerned about this? What does it even mean?

increased bronchovascular markings may be a common finding in chest x ray because of pollution and minor cold like infections...usually it is nothing to worry about but definitely better to get yourself examined...its always better the examination findings with the investigation findings as together only they give a better impression

I've been feeling this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath or sneeze. It's been going on for about two months, and sometimes it feels mild, but other times it's sharp. Plus, it hurts more when I do anything physical. The pain even goes up to my right shoulder and back. I don't have a cough or sore throat or anything like that, just this weird pain. What do you think it could be?

I'm on ATT since March 16, 2022, after being diagnosed with Pulmonary TB. I've had a persistent fever and night chills, but since starting treatment, my symptoms like weakness and shortness of breath have improved. Despite this, I've noticed my temperature still reads between 99.9 and 100.5 in the evenings, even though I don't feel feverish. It's been about a month, and I'm wondering how long this elevated temperature might last. Could this be normal while on Akurit4?
