Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic.


There are different causes of calcification seen on a chest X ray . Common are Old infections ( Especially Tuberculosis) , Healed Parasitic Infestations, Inflammatory diseases like Sarcoidosis or even tumors.

First of all we need to know what is the cause of the calcification. In that regard I advise you to get HRCT scan of chest and revert back with report. After going through the scan report I will be able to tell you what is the cause and whether it can be cleared or not .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
