Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had a cough for the last five months, and I met a doctor who asked me to get a TB test. It was negative, and I got an x-ray done, but the result was right upper fibrosis, left upper lobe consolidation, and cavity formation expansion. I took the medicines, but still, I have a cough. I do not have fever or night sweats. My appetite is fine; no weight loss.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You should get CECT (contrast induced computerized tomography) chest done.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
