Fibrotic itself means that it is healed and still if you have symptoms of tuberculosis you should get your sputum examination for AFB and mantaux test done. Sputum examination is more important. If you can afford you can undergo quantiferon gold test for tb. But if there is fibrotic changes only no need to take TB treatment in that case
