Old chest X-ray findings of increased broncho-vascular markings or pneumonitis typically resolve without leaving scars if the infection was treated properly. Since you've had no breathing issues and have quit smoking, it's unlikely these would appear as scars now. A fresh X-ray and consultation with a pulmonologist should clarify this.

Accepted Answer

Allergists can help manage and treat allergic rhinitis effectively, but it may not be cured forever. They can provide you with medications such as Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec) to help relieve your symptoms. In some cases, they may also recommend allergy shots (immunotherapy) to reduce your body's response to allergens. It's important to consult with an Allergist to create a personalized treatment plan for your allergic rhinitis.
