Cough problem for nearly 3 weeks

2019-02-18 17:13:24
My father is having cough for the past few weeks. He was also having fever,night sweats, chills but these problems are not showing up after taking medicines for 3 days. Only the coughing problem persists. He has been tested positive for montoux test but his sputum routine, culture and chest x Ray are normal. Is there any likelihood of him suffering from TB?
