Thanks for your question on HCM.
Sorry to say but scar tissue is permanent in nature and remain for life time.
I explain you the things.
In lung tissue healing occurs by either
1. Fibrosis
2. Calcification
3. Bronchiectasis
4. Complete recovery (very few cases)
So past TB or pneumonia heals by mostly fibrosis and calcification.
And this remains inactive through out the life. And appear on chest x ray as scar lesion.
No medicines are available or adviced since it is inactive and totally harmless.
So no need to worry about this.
