Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... You are having lung fibrosis condition secondary to tuberculosis .... Once fibrosis occurs it is irreversible condition ... Steroid might be useful for that .... You have to complete the course of AKT to prevent further fibrosis.... If you are having smoking habit than avoid smoking as it can lead further fibrosis .... Pulmonary rehabilitation useful.... To assess severity of fibrosis spirometry useful for that ... Take care. Advise
