I'm experiencing shortness of breath, but I don't have a fever or a typical coughthough I do get mucus when I manage to cough. I'm curious about what my X-ray report might indicate about these symptoms. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I've been dealing with TB for about 4 months now and taking meds for it. My recent CT scan showed some fibrotic changes in my lungs, and I occasionally feel chest pain and some inflammation. Should I be worried about this or do you think it'll improve on its own? I'm also preparing for a civil services exam and they check lung function in the medical test, so I'm a bit anxious about it possibly affecting my results. What should I do?
