[|Human|] Hello,  I need more information about an oblique fissure thickening in the right lung...What is the cause?  What is the cure?After pneumonia I never stopped having pain of the left side thorax.  4 months after I got CT scan showing  this diagnostic.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Any lung infection (pneumonia or tuberculosis) cause thickening, fibrosis or calcification due to healing. This is normal thing. So no need to worry about fissure thickening. It is mostly due to healed pneumonia. Better to get done CT thorax to confirm this. You can apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest for pain relief. You can also take simple painkiller like paracetamol if pain is more. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
