Hi thanksfor contacting HCM...

Normally alveoli contain air....so bronchovascular marking normally not prominent....
But because if vadodilatation and increase blood flow it can be prominent....

Infection or increase fluid can be cause...
-bronchitis
-viral interstitial pneumonia
-heart failure

Here bronchitis seems to be most likely....
Auscultation and respi examination done ....
Suitable antibiotic given..
If needed short term steroid might needed for inflammation ....

If dyspnea occurs then bronchodilator needed....

Consult doctor for examination and treatment accordingly ....
Try to avoid passive exposure of smoking to your child...

Take care.
