<human>: I just had my chest x rayed PA and lateral views. FINDINGS: LUNG FIELDS: No focal findings. Mild increased interstitial markings, likely chronic. Mild hyperaeration. Could you please explain what this means. Is it serious? I do have a cough and white mucus comes up. I have allergies (mold spores, grass, running nose)
<bot>: Hello Your report suggests mildly increased interstitial markings. It may be due to COPD, asthma,infection, inflammation etc. Mild hyperaeration is related to mild air trapping. It is also important to rule out infective etiology since you have symptoms. You may require antibiotics after clinical assessment. You also need further tests like routine hologram. Avoid smoking if you are smoker. Inhalational bronchodilators or steroids may be needed after clinical assessment. Hope I have answered your query. Take Care Chat Doctor.
