What Treatment Is Suggested For Linear Fibrosis?

I recently had an xray... The radiologist reading is i have a Linear Fibrosis in my left upper lung. My xray is for my medical examination as a requirement for my visa application in Saudi Arabia. It was the first time of me to hear that im having that in my xray and im unaware of it.. Please help me with my question.. Is it possible that that linear fibrosis will disappear in my xray in any means??? IS there any way that it will disappear in my xray. THe dr said that it was already healed and it doesnt have any medicines.. Is that true?? I m living a heathy lifestyle now.sleep early and drink juice and milk instead of sodas, then take vit C 2x a day and some multivitamins.. Does it help????
