Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Tuberculosis can cause inflammation in lungs. This in turn causes bronchitis.
This gives appearance of prominent bronchovascular markings on chest x ray.
So we should treat your bronchitis to remove bronchovascular markings from chest x ray.
So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
