Hey, my dad tested positive back in February. He was in the hospital for about 5 days and got 6 vials of remdesivir. It's been a month since then, and we just got his HRCT scan done. The results show a CT score of 725. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean he's still dealing with pneumonia?

I'm really curious about the results of my chest X-ray. The doctor mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what that actually means? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal?

Prominent bronchovascular markings is suggestive of asthma,pneumonia,heart failure or pleural effusion etc.
