I'm a bit worried after my recent chest x-ray which showed prominent bronchovascular markings. I've been dealing with allergic bronchitis and I'm wondering if that's the reason behind these markings. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray can be seen in various conditions, including allergic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis; in your case, allergic bronchitis is a likely contributor, but it's essential to follow up with your doctor to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment as needed, and to rule out other potential causes

I'm from Bangladesh and I've been told I have some nodular opacity in the right lower zone of my chest. It's getting in the way of me being able to study abroad because the embassy won't approve my application with this issue. My doctor mentioned it's not actually a disease, but I'm curious if there's any way to treat this or remove the spot from my lungs. Is there anything I can do?

I was curious if the lung fibrosis that develops after having COVID is usually restrictive or does it tend to be progressive? I've attached my CT scan report from after my COVID treatment for some context. During my hospital stay, I received remdesivir injections.

Post-COVID lung fibrosis is typically restrictive, meaning it limits lung expansion and reduces lung capacity. However, its progression can vary depending on the severity and individual response to treatment. If you have concerns, please consult your doctor for a more personalized assessment.
