Hello
Thanks for your query.
To be frank the apical fibrotic density will not go away with medication and it will persist. Medicine can prevent and treat the complications arising from it like pneumonia, blood speeting or abcess formation. You may also go for pneumococcal vaccination for prevention of severe pneumonic episodes.
Thank you
