Hello.
Thanks for the question.
I am sorry, but the treatment options for lung fibrosis or calcification are very limited. There is no evidence that any medications can significantly help this condition. Lung transplantation is the only therapeutic option available in severe cases. Corticosteroids have been tried to slow down the process of fibrosis.
A primary TB infection can go unnoticed and is only detected when x-ray is done for some other reason.
I am unsure if this is going to be a hindrance for your job in the Middle East.
Hope this answers your question. Please do write back in case you have follow up queries to ask.
All the best.
Regards.
