Active tb

Hello doctor, I had kept a maid to take care of my daughter who is 1 and a half years old.She was with her for three months taking care of her.One day the maid fell sick and coughed up blood once.After that I discontinued her services immediately.This episode is now two months old.I got the maid's sputum test done for tuberculosis which was negative.However on questioning her she told me that her father had died of tuberculosis 14 years ago.Other members in her family include two sisters,mother and one brother.I also got her digital xray done and a helical CT CHEST,both of which were normal.I want to ask of there is a chance that she may be suffering from active tuberculosis given her symptoms and family history of tuberculosis. Thanks

Breast pain

I had a swelling in my underarm which has suddenly increased. There is no lump but immense pain in my underarm, entire right hand, breast, shoulder n upper back. There is pain at the end of both my ribs which has just started. I have dry cough n frequent urination. I have also been losing weight. I am not sure if this is anything to do with breast cancer or is it just muscular pain. I got my breasts checked for lumps or discharge by a gynaec. Luckily there was nothing. I also got a sonomammography doesn't for the swelling in underarms but the reports were normal. Am not sure what the issue is. Please help

Quantiferon gold positive

I needed to get PPD or quantiferon tab gold test done for admission to college in US. I did the latter and the quantiferon test can positive with results 1.26 IU/ml antigen tube and 0.04 IU/ml nil tube from lal pathlabs. I am concerned as college health form prescribes chest x ray for positive tb gold test. Should I also get a PPD test done? Is there a possibility of error in quantiferon test due to which may have been positive? I would like an appointment with you if possible tomorrow.  Have done x ray today morning and should have it by today evening. I have not had any symptoms like fever and persistent cough for as long as I remember.

Chest pain on lower right side.

I am currently having pain on the lower right side of my chest, it feels like it's in the right lung on the side very near the bottom rib. The pain is dull feels like a cramp almost. It all started yesterday night when I smoked heavily cause I was stressed. I felt minor headache today morning but It's over now. Same dull pain with no rise when i breath in. I'm not even coughing and not having shortness of breath. what do you diagnose from all these symptoms. Is something serious? Or it's just a temporary buzz. Is there something I should eat to overcome this pain ?
