Lung problems
I am 35 year old male. During a recent health check up, in chest x-ray report some "Fibrotic Foci" are observed. What should I do about this?
I had tuberculosis earlier at age of 4 years and have undergone treatment. Presently I'm asthmatic and taking inhaler Budamate 200 MCG x 2 times / day.
Is it possible that the TB infection is not completely cured and is still there in a subdued form?

If it's fibrotic foci then it is old heald lesion. So don't worry about that. It will be there forever in x-ray. But if u have no symptoms of tuberculosis ie fever weight loss cough then don't worry
Next Steps
