Occasional cough
My husband was a tuberculosis patient. He has mediastinal lymph node tb it was detected by CT guided biopsy. My both reports are attached no 1 is previous ( from Apollo Kolkata) no 2 is present from( Fortis Kolkata). doctor aslo did his pft test because the problem is he has occasional cough. Like every day after 2 to 3 hours of gap he feels some tickling sensation or a some kind sensation in throat nd cough. So I'm but worried doctor. What is in the pft test? Doctor says he has small airways that's the reason. But some doctor said his pft test is normal it's just because of poor efforts. Some time he also have sneezing and runny nose. But my tension is his occasional cough. Please help me 🙏
