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?

View allI'm dealing with a lung infection because of the climate here in Delhi. My doctor suggested taking TelekastL and Sereflo. I'm just a bit concerned about using TelekastL for a long period. Is it really safe? And should I be reconsidering living in Delhi if this is causing health issues? I'd really appreciate some insight into this.
Telekast-L (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, but it may not address the root cause of a recurring lung infection. If Delhi's air quality consistently worsens your health, it may be worth considering relocating to a cleaner environment for long-term well-being.

I'm planning to move to the UAE, but I'm worried about the medical clearance because of an old chest x-ray I had in 2013. Back then, it showed some congestion in the hilum and increased bronchovascular markings that were thought to be due to an infection in my lower respiratory tract, and there were also some patchy segments of pneumonitis near the heart. Everything else on the x-ray was fine, though. Since then, I've been healthy and haven't had any breathing issues, just the occasional cold and cough. I also had really high IgE levels at that time, but I've quit smoking for almost three years now. I'm concerned about whether these markings could be considered scars on the x-ray. Is there a way to address this, or do you think it could affect my medical approval? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Old chest X-ray findings of increased broncho-vascular markings or pneumonitis typically resolve without leaving scars if the infection was treated properly. Since you've had no breathing issues and have quit smoking, it's unlikely these would appear as scars now. A fresh X-ray and consultation with a pulmonologist should clarify this.

I've got this CT value of 525 from my HR CT chest scan, and I'm worried it might mean I have pneumonia. Could you tell me if it's something mild or more serious? And if it is pneumonia, is there any medication you would recommend?
its mild , it will become normal
