What Does My X-ray Test Report Indicate?

My first CXray result said I have PTB Hazy infiltrates at the upper right lung . I have already undergone 6month of medications. After that, I took CXray again and the finding was already normal. Does it mean that my PTB didn t cause any scar to my lungs? Please help me understand. I have plan to work abroad but this give me worry.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your and being your physcian i completely understand your health concerns.
for how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? like diabetes or hyptertension? are u smoker?
In my opinion , the pulmonary TB didnt affect your lung much if u have started the treatment earlier and proper medications were used. the best way is to compare the CHEST XRAY before initiating the treatment and with the one after treatment. As u have mentioned that post TB x ray was normal. it would be lot better if u send me the pics of your both Xrays so that i can comment properly. generally speaking , if treatment started in time , the tb heals with little scarring of the lungs
meanwhile stay calm
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
