Suggest Treatment Remove Scar On Lungs
Sir, I am 31 years old, 77 Kg weight, 5' 9" tall.
I sufferred from TB in 1998. It was at very initial stage that it was detected. I took 9 months medicine and the doctors declared me perfectly fit. The TB has left a scar on my lungs. I want to go to Gulf countries and work there, but I have heard that the people with scar on lungs can not live and work there.
Can you please advice me if there is any way to remove this scar from the lungs?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It is difficult to get rid of scar, they last for very long period, some time life long.
2.Only thing you can do is to take a medical certificate from a authorised radiologist, the certificate they accept.
3.You have taken enough treatment, there is no treatment for scar.
4.Any time we see the x-ray, many times we find old healed TB, and it always coincide with the history.
5.So you find if there is any alternative.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
