Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

Spots in xray are common in individuals with past history
of infections. they could as well be indicative of early
tumoral lesions.

However, in your case, the nodules are more likely to be
fibrotic lesions following the TB infection.

Am afraid there is not much to do as concerns spots that
results from past infections. Surgery even will not do you
good as it could further leave more fibrotic lesions.

Some lesions can possibly disappear with time but over a
very long time. Unfortunately i do not know of any drug to
clear these lesions.

Best regards
Dr Achuo
