Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If you had previous lung infection (pneumonia or tuberculosis) then no need to worry for this x ray report.
Lung infection heals by fibrosis. So your current minimal fibrotic lesion is mostly due to healed previous infection.
But if you are not having any previous lung infection, better to get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy to rule out lung infection.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
