Can you help me understand what's going on with my lungs? My report mentioned that the bronchovascular field is prominent in the bilateral lung fields, and there are some small calcific foci in the right lung field. I've also noticed a little sputum forming and coming out. Should I be worried about these findings?

I'm a bit worried after getting a chest X-ray done yesterday. I've attached the film above. Could you help me understand if it shows any signs of TB or another infection? The doctor seemed unsure but has already suggested starting anti-TB meds for 15 days. Is it really okay to start that treatment at my age?
first do sputum test and if it is confirmed in it ,then take tuberculosis treatment

I've been feeling this odd pain when I take a deep breath, almost like a sharp sensation in my chest. Sometimes, it even hurts a little when I'm not breathing deeply, which is kind of worrying. I'm trying to figure out what could be going on here. Could this be something serious, or is it something I shouldn't worry too much about? Any advice on what I should do next?
do chest x ray
