Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through the X-ray report you have mentioned. This report clearly says that there is no consolidation. So no need to worry for pneumonia. He is having accentuated bronchovascular markings (BVM) and bronchiolitis. It is commonly seen with allergic inflammation. It is easily controllable with inhaled bronchodilators (Formoterol or Salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (Budesonide or Fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (Levocetrizine or Fexofenadine) and anti allergic (Montelukast) is also beneficial. Don't worry, he will be alright. No need to worry for pneumonia.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
