Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your problem, however the given data is incomplete.

If you have symptoms like cough with or without sputum or blood, fever associated with sweating (more in the evening), loss of appetite and weight, chest pain, fatigue, etc. the given chest x ray findings may be suggestive of pulmonary TB.

I advise you to consult a physician/pulmonologist for further evaluation like you may need the following investigations to confirm the diagnosis of TB:

1. CBC
2. ESR
3. Sputum for Acid fast bacilli
4. Mountoux test

Hope the suggestion given above could be useful to you in getting the treatment.
I find this answer helpful
