Brief Answer: Admission depends on clinical assessment Detailed Answer: Namasthe Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Mr XXXXXXX Being a Parent myself , I understand your concern and apprehensions. Need for admission is based on clinical assessment of severity of disease. Prominent Bronchovesicular markings in both lung fields are common finding during respiratory tract infection. Remember X ray is just a Image of Lungs and heart, its not real thing. Images can be deceiving. If the following criteria are fulfilled there is no cause for much concern 1. Baby is accepting feeds well 2. No fever or low grade fever 3. Breathing pattern is normal like before and there is no hurried breathing 4. No signs of respiratory distress: Child is comfortable and does not look to have air hunger or hurried breathing 5. On clinical examination the chest is clear If your baby is accpeting feeds well, sleeps adequately after feeds, no fever or mild fever and breathing is not hurried than there is no cause for concern. Do keep me informed about the progress. In my clinical practice I follow the policy on relying more on detailed clinical examination and assessment . Wishing your baby speedy recovery. Do write to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take Care Best Regards' Dr Deepak K K MBBS,MS,MCH Consultant Pediatric Surgeon
