Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist. As tuberculosis heals by fibrosis and this is seen as spot on x ray. And this will remain as it is through out the life.
So you need to complete the full course of treatment. Get done CT THORAX as CT gives better idea about the lesion. You can also go for Bronchoscopy and BAL analysis.
If both of these are not suggestive of TB than you are not having active TB. X ray spots are due to old healed lesion.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
