Do These X-ray Results Necessitate Further Treatment?

My child is 6 years, his x ray showed exaggeration in the bronchovascular marking at both perihilar zone and middle 3rd of right lung. It says: Could be due to bronchopneumonia. My question: Is this serious? How could it be treated, home or hosoutal admission, and how long for full recovery? How could this affect his health for his entire life. Thanks

Hi,
I have gone through your chest x-ray report.

According to the above X-ray reports,your kid has increased bronchovascular markings.That means the fluid level in his lungs have been increased.This is a common finding after an episode of pneumonia or respiratory tract infection.
You don't need to worry regarding this and the X-ray finding revert to normal with in a couple of weeks.
There is no need for hospitalization and it will not affect him in future.
If he still have signs of infection like fever and cough please consult a pediatrician.

Hope this information helps.
With regards
Dr.Shinas Hussain
