Hello,
You have completed medication for pulmonary tuberculosis as per history.
So mostly you might be free from pulmonary tuberculosis. You have to repeat your chest x-ray and sputum examination.
The fibrosis due to tuberculosis is not reversible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
