Cough since 10 days
I have been facing cough problem since 10 days I was been there with a TB patient I am thinking that I got TB from him could u please help me in this case
Hello. Very Good morning. I'm Dr.Yogesh Kr Sharma. If you are having cough for 10 days and came in contact with TB patient then you should do some test life sputum for AFB, quantiferon gold test for Tuberculosis. This might be a untreated chest infection which you May be confused with Tuberculosis. If cough persists for more than 3 weeks, then it's a serious issue. Just for now contact a chest or medical specialist as soon as possible. You can also consult me. I'm having a 10 Years of experience. Take care and good luck.
