General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Yes, your doctor is right. There is no other treatment option for this, and this is not necessary since there is no lung infection and no lung tumor.
There are some changes that suggest chronic bronchitis so inhalatory medications can be taken but all in all this is not concerning finding and lungs seems to be fine. PAtient should avoid smoking if he smokes and be on fresh air. Also he should repeat xrays in 6 months. His heart shape looks fine as well by the way.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
