Hello
Your chest X-ray may suggest residual effect of past tubercular infection.
It may be in the form of fibrosis.
Infection naturally heals by fibrosis and calcification.
Generally it is a permanent finding and it doesn't require any treatment.
It may require treatment only when it compromises pulmonary functions.
There are no medicines available to remove these spots temporarily or permanently.
Get well soon.
