Question

I'm a bit concerned about a recent x-ray I had for a job-related issue. The report mentioned something about bronchovascular markings in my lungs. I'm wondering if it would help to take an antibiotic course to improve my condition. I have a small amount of breathing trouble, but it gets much worse whenever I catch a cold. Could you give me some advice on what I could do to prevent lung infections?

Bronchovascular markings on an X-ray indicate inflammation or congestion, but antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections; to prevent lung infections and manage symptoms, consider consulting your pulmonologist
