PTB fibrosis is like a scar which you have in any part of the body after the wound is healed. It only means that you have had TB before and your immune system has taken care of it then. Unfortunately there is no way the fibrosis can be cured or removed. Some places abroad do not accept it and there is no remedy for the same. You can consult a pulmonologist to say that you do not have active TB currently.
