I have tb last august 2018 I started my medication and after 6 months I have my xray and it says minimal fibrosis on the right upper lobe. And last month I also have my xray and it says ill defined opacities on the right upper lobe. Does it mean my tb is back again?

No it may be old tb patch. Still take sputum examination.

The ill-defined opacities are the calcified and fibrosed tb of the past and not new tb. You need to do sputum test again to see if there is a recurrence.
