I've positive montoux test - is it TB

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

I had cough for more than 3 weeks... but that's a common problem with me in every winter. I underwent Chest X Ray for TB Test in a hospital in Delhi and I was confirmed negative for TB. However, I met an MBBS, DTCD pulmonologist who advised for Montoux test and after seeing the results confirmed that it's TB. Should I go for further test? If I opt for medication, how, frequently do I need to keep consulting with the doctor ? Can I travel outside the country and continue with medication?
