A member asked:
I'm a 38yo w/ chest cold & productive cough. my chest xray ruled out pneumonia but showed coarse interstitial markings. what's the likely cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: The coarse interstitial markings are likely from the inflammation of your lungs due to the chest cold. This should go away after you have gotten over your chest cold and congestion.
