Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased bronchovascular markings in lungs may be due to many reasons like infection,age related etc.It is not dangerous at all.
In your case it is most likely related to wet cough.It will subside with control of infection.
You need proper clinical examination.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
