My mother has been coughing for the last 3 weeks, and she's also noticed some blood in the cough. Her X-ray report shows slightly prominent upper broncho vascular markings on both lungs and a mildly raised cardio thoracic ratio. She's also having fever and difficulty breathing. Could these symptoms be related to tuberculosis (TB)? Please guide us.

Given your mother's symptoms of a persistent cough, blood in the cough, fever, and breathing issues, along with the X-ray findings of prominent broncho-vascular markings and a mildly raised cardio-thoracic ratio, these could be concerning for a respiratory condition such as tuberculosis (TB) or other lung infections. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation, including sputum tests and possibly a CT scan, to confirm the diagnosis and start appropriate treatment.
