Is there any chance I can get around the visa denial issue due to the old TB marks on my X-ray? It's frustrating because I had TB six years ago, I've been completely fit since then. I really don't know how to get a clear X-ray now. Is there anything I can do about this?

I'm currently taking Montair LC, Levoflox 500, and Pan40 for a lower respiratory tract infection. I'm wondering if it's okay to also take vitamin tablets, specifically DE, C, and B12, alongside these medications. Would that cause any issues, or is it safe to mix them?
