Hi,
Calcification in the apices does suggest to be of a tubercular origin. I would suggest you to get yourself examined once again along with repeat tests to reconfirm that you are TB-ve. It could just reflect an old lesion as well, but nevertheless confirmation is mandatory.
Hi,
Thanks for query,
This is normal and it is common after healing of the lesion.left old lesion impression.
Nothing is required.
Go for respiratory exercise.
Take high nourishing food.
Ok and bye.
