Hello there. I can understand your concern. Confirmation of diagnosis of tuberculosis isn't easy. Evidence on x-ray can confirm it, sputum test can show bacteria and can confirm it. Sometimes other tests may also need to be employed depending on the person. Consult a pulmonologist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
