Your x-ray finding are suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis in right upper lung which you might get from some other person who had having TB. First of all, you need not to worry at all and start anti-tuberculous treatment as early as possible after an expert advice. You can definitely go to work as even before, just take your medicines regularly as advised by your doctor.
