Hello
Your X-ray findings suggests minimal fibrosis in right suprahilar region.
It may be due to sequel of past infection.Lung parenchyma heals by fibrosis and calcification.
It is generally a permanent benign finding and patient usually doesn't require any treatment.
Fibrosis in lung may require treatment only when it compromises pulmonary functions.
Get well soon.
Take Care
