I'm planning a trip to the Gulf, and I just got my chest X-ray report back. It mentions something about prominent broncho vascular markings. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm concerned about whether it could cause any issues in my medical consultation or during my trip. Is this something serious? Can it be treated or managed somehow?

Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray indicate increased visibility of the airways and blood vessels, which can be a normal finding, but may also be associated with conditions like asthma, COPD, or pulmonary hypertension; in the context of your Gulf medical, it might raise concerns, but it's unlikely to be a major issue unless accompanied by other abnormal findings or symptoms;

I'm really worried about my aunt - she's been having trouble breathing, and her reports show she has Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Weve seen a pulmonologist, but they haven't been able to find a solution. We've been following a cardiologist's advice and started her on Bosentas 62.5mg for the past six months, but it seems like her condition is getting worse. Another cardiologist warned us that Bosentas could be harmful to her liver, but we didnt stop it. Now, she can't even walk from her bedroom to the living room without struggling. I'm looking for advice on whether there's any treatment or medication from Homeopathy, Allopathic, or Ayurveda that might help her. Can you offer any guidance?

That could be Pharyngitis or tonsillitis visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with Covid for 18 days and I'm on treatment right now. I'm still running a fever around 99.1 and feeling a bit of breathlessness. My doctor decided not to go for a CT scan due to the risks and put me on Foracort 400. Should I be asking my doctor if a CT scan might be necessary at this point?

no need
