Hey, I got my x-ray results back and it mentions "bronchovascular marking prominent." I'm a bit concerned and not sure what that means. Could you help me understand what might be going on or if it's something I should worry about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The prominent bronchovascular marking seen in your x-ray report indicates increased markings of the blood vessels and bronchial tubes in your lungs. This can be a normal finding or may indicate conditions such as infection, inflammation, or fluid accumulation in the lungs. To provide a specific recommendation, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the prominent bronchovascular marking. I recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a pulmonologist, who may suggest additional tests or imaging studies to make a definitive diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan (e.g., Robitussin) to help with any associated cough. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package.

View allI got diagnosed with Pneumonia after catching the Covid19 virus last April 14, 2021. I've been on medication for weeks and started feeling better. But now, whenever I take a deep breath, I notice some discomfort and a bit of pain in the right side of my chest, near the lower rib cage. I work night shifts and this is starting to worry me because it's impacting my job. Could this still be related to what I went through with Pneumonia, or something else?

I've just started taking Fixcom 4 for my PTB, and I'm really confused about how to take it. Am I supposed to take all 3 tablets in the morning, or should it be 3 times a day? Right now, I've just been taking one tablet because I'm not sure about the dosage. Could you help me understand how I should be taking this medication?
For the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) with Fixcom 4, the usual recommended dosage is 3 tablets to be taken once daily. It is important to take all 3 tablets at the same time, rather than spreading them out throughout the day. Therefore, you should consume all 3 tablets of Fixcom 4 together in the morning. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and regimen for the effective treatment of PTB.
