My pulmonary lung function test was normal and I sent you my ct scan which the pulmonologist said was normal my question is will these markings turn into pulmonary fibrosis? My pulmonologist said it’s just inflammation from my asthma should I be concerned

No need to worry much.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
If your CT is normal, no need to worry for fibrosis.
Honestly speaking, no doctor can give you 100% prediction.
But I don't think you are should worry about fibrosis development.
Better to focus on allergy management.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
