Pain in Lung
In December 2013 I was diagnosed with right lung TB+DVT. I had fluid withdrawn and I completed the recommended TB medication for 7 months.Despite the TB being cured, and the lung appearing fine on xrays (no fluid showing in the lung), I had a mild stabbing pain in the right lung whenever I would breath deeply. What to do ?

It may be due fibrosed pleura. You can take some anti inflammatory drugs for few days. And start incentive spirometry atleast five times a day. You will feel better. Plus as you said you were diagnosed with dvt so need check for any chances of pulmonary embolism. But it's the pain of pleural fibrosis as it occurs only during deep inspiration.
