Accepted Answer

The prominent branchovascular markings in the X-ray report suggest some mild changes in the blood vessels of the lungs, which can sometimes occur due to infections like COVID-19.

Monitoring his symptoms and maintaining regular blood sugar checks will be important during his recovery.
