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?

I'm a bit worried about the X-ray results that mention "haziness" in the left mid and lower zones of my chest. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about it, and what kind of follow-up do you recommend?
The X-ray report indicates haziness in the left mid and lower lung zones, which could suggest inflammation, infection, or a possible buildup of fluid. It's important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and clinical history for a more accurate diagnosis. I recommend discussing the results with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.
