Your sputum test for TB bacilli is negative. The test might have done suspecting PTB due to chronic cough. There are other reasons. Book consultation for review and management.

This report means that you don’t have tuberculosis. I would need more detailed history to help you better. Do you have any seasonal change? Does your cough increases with certain posture? Any increase in day or night? Do you have any other symptoms like fever, shortness of breath, blood in sputum, chest pain , wheezing sound ? Consult me online for further help

It could be bronchitis or Bronchiectasis causing this need elaborate history and better to get PFT and plain HRCT chest and then decide if it’s airway issue or lung issue and get treated with inhalers accordingly.
