Hello
Thanks for your query.
The findings of your chest x-ray are suggestive of old healed past tubercular spot in the lung and in the absence of symptoms like fever, weight loss, coughing these are probably inactive lesions and if symptoms are present you should have a detailed work up for tuberculosis including sputum for acid fast bacilli.
Thank you.
Regards
Dr Arnab Maji
