Question 1

Accepted Answer

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

For throat pain and severe coughing, nebulization with levosalbutamol or budesonide (as advised by a doctor) can help reduce inflammation and ease breathing. Use warm salt water gargles for throat relief and stay hydrated. Consult a doctor for proper dosage.

Question 4

Hi, I had a plain CT scan done at Apollo Hospital in Chennai and the result showed no issues. But when I went for a medical check-up for Kuwait, the doctor told me I was unfit due to my chest x-ray. They mentioned something about an abnormality in my...

Accepted Answer

The discrepancy between the Apollo Hospital CT scan and the Kuwait medical checkup chest X-ray results suggests a possible error or misinterpretation; the "blunting of right costophrenic angle" and "white scar" may indicate a benign, old, healed lesion or scarring, and since the doctor said no medicine is required, you may want to consider a second opinion or a repeat CT scan to confirm the findings and clarify your fitness for work in Kuwait.

Question 5

My father tested positive for COVID-19 about a week ago. He only has a fever between 99-100C and no other symptoms. As a precaution, he had an X-ray done and the report showed 'prominent branchovascular markings bilaterally.' Hes currently quarantini...

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. Since your father is asymptomatic except for the mild fever and his diabetes is under control, its good that he's in quarantine. Monitoring his symptoms and maintaining regular blood sugar checks will be important during his recovery.

Question 6

I recently had an apicolordotic view, and it showed a few fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, possibly due to Kochs etiology. Im concerned about what this means. Should I be worried, and what steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

The Apicolordotic view X-ray report suggests that you may have had tuberculosis (TB) in the past, as indicated by the presence of fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, which are likely scars from healed TB lesions, also known as Koch's lesions.
