According to reports there are streaky infiltrates in both lung bases.It may be due to pneumonia,tuberculosis etc.You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Firstly,complete course of broad spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed.
Both CP Angles are clear.
Pulmonary vascular markings are normal.
Mediastinal shadows are also normal.
Cardiac size is within normal limit
Hope i have answered your query.
