How Can Lung TB Scarring Be Diminished And Healed?
hi! i am 23y.o and an applicant to wok abroad. On my medical exam, the physician told me that on my C-XR, it shows a TB scarring on the Right upper lobe of my lungs. That's why she told me that i am unfit to work abroad. Is it possible that this scar can be diminished and can be healed? if it is, what are those ways to diminish it?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* Scarring of lung TB is usually fibrosis produced by the old TB infection .
Usually it is asymptomatic and remains as such in dormant
stage without problems .
Unless there is active infection process medicines will not work over it .
Hope this will help to clear your doubt .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Always welcome for any further assistance anytime .
