1. calcification is a sign of OLD healed lesion either Bronchitis or Lower Respiratory tract infection, but it will not clear even after 7 days as calcification process is irreversible.
2. If you do not have any symptoms, there is no need to worry and will not cause any problem in medical, probably they will/might ask for Pulmonary Function Test (PFT).
