General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based in the chest x-ray report you have furnished, the lung is showing features of old infection of lungs along with active features of infection of tuberculosis.
Hence, you need to take proper regimen anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) for it so that it would minimize the damage to the lung tissue.
If not treated, it may go in for complications, which might be difficult to treat later on.
Kindly consult Physician in this regard for appropriate treatment.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
