You may need clinical correlation and treatment of underlying cause.
It is not a serious finding and patient may need symptomatic treatment only.

Hello Dr. Bhushan:
Thank you for the clear, prompt, and warm reply. I am feeling much better thank you. The ear infections were causing pains I never could have imagined originated from a middle ear infection. My respiratory infection seems better as well.
Do you think that the increased bronchovascular markings could support the doctor's hypothesis that my asthma has returned? I plan to follow up with him when I return to Canada. But I am curious as to your opinion based on your findings. Of particular note is a mild but annoying pain/pressure I've had in the upper-right hand quadrant of the chest cavity where I "feel" a wheeze (it could be a referred sensation for all I know). Sometimes it feels as though I have arrythmia.
Take care and thank you again for your great service,
XXXXXXX XXXX (also a dr. but of literature)
