Does the xray show any TB signs?
I have been coughing a lot last month, now it has reduced by 98%. But i had phlegm in throat and constant need to clear if not coughing. So i went to local pulmo doc, he gave pulmoclewr for a week, difiza or some inhaler fr a mnth, cefpodem xp, and cough syrup.
My symptoms are 98% not there, just sometimes after exercise i get slight cough or phlegm..
I did a sputum culture and sputum afb, culture showed high growth of K. Pneumonia while afb was negative. I went to the doctor, he said continue with the medicine and also do the ct thorax and insisted on CB NaAT...
I couldn't ask him but just for a clarity, does this xray show any sign of TB? I don't have fever, or cough like tb, or any night sweat.
Just post nasal drip and some very little phlegm, once in a while(rarely).
Please tell me why is he asking for cb naat, m scared :(
