Brief Answer:
No need to worry at present

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question,
I can understand your concern.
Since you don't have any symptoms like cough, cold or blood in sputum since 1 month I don't think you should do any further investigations.
You can wait. No need to go to hospital and get yourself checked.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
