Hello
Your report suggests increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields.
It may be due to infection,inflammation etc.
It is important to rule out infective etiology.You are rightly prescribed antibiotics.
You also need further tests like routine hemogram.
Avoid smoking if you are smoker.
Inhalational bronchodilators and steroids can be given after evaluation.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
