The treatment for thickening and adhesion on the left side of the chest should be determined based on the underlying cause.
1. If it is caused by tuberculosis, it is recommended to follow medical advice and use anti-tuberculosis medications such as isoniazid and rifampicin for targeted treatment, which can lead to significant improvement.
2. If it results from an infectious disease, it is advisable to use antibiotic medications such as cefixime under a doctor's guidance.
