I had suffered from tb in 2006. now my tb is totally removed but xray shows some spot is there in my chest. so, plz suggest me how i can remove my chest spot. I want to go abroad for work but due to this  i am not able to go. Is there any temporary medicine to remove during xray.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Tuberculosis after treatment produce healing either by fibrosis or calcification or both. These are permanent scar lesions. They are inactive, hence no treatment is required. But they will remain as it is and appear on chest x-ray throughout the life. For your work permit, we need to prove that these lesions are inactive, and you are not suffering from any infectious disease. For this you need to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. CT thorax 2. Bronchoscopic evaluation and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis. CT thorax is far superior then chest x-ray in diagnosis of inactive scar. BAD is much better than sputum to rule out infections like tuberculosis. If both of these are negative then you can argue with visa authority about not having active, infectious disease. And your x-ray spots are old, healed, scar lesions.
