Post tb ,fibrosis, is like a healed scar.it is permanent.That portion of lung,which is fibrosed,will not work as normal Lung.you have to improve the remaining lungs.This can be done by Lung exercises with respirometer, and pranayama. Pl consult Pulmonologist online with all the reports and treatment taken.
