Hi
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your current chest x ray is suggestive of scarred lesion from previous infection like Pneumonia or TB .Since you never had TB , then most probably it is because of pneumonia that you must have suffered in past.
Any lung insult whether TB or pneumonia heal with treatment.
Healing occurs in following ways.
1. Fibrosis (most common).
2. Calcification
3. Rarely Complete resolution.
So your current chest x ray is showing, fibrotic lesions and these are nothing but old, healed, inactive, scar lesions.
So no need to take any drugs again because you are not having an active infection.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
