X Ray Test Done. What Does Findings Mean?

Hello, good morning Doc. I underwent x-ray test a month ago and the result states:

"Heart is normal in size. Questionable infiltrates are noted in right upper lobe. Rest of the lungs are clear. Lateral costrophrenic sinuses are sharp. Visualized skeletal structures are unremarkable. Suggest ALV for further evaluation of the right upper lobe."

What does the findings mean Doc? Do i have a TB and or Pulmonia or am i just prone to having it? How can i avoid or possibly cure said illnesses if i already have it? Please help me. Thank you so much!
