Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had a cough and cold for five days; I have been diagnosed with endobronchial tuberculosis (TB). Usually, if there is more dust and pollution, my lungs will be affected. This makes me cough badly I also have a sore throat pain but it is reduced now. What should I do? Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I suggest you get a sputum test for TB (tuberculosis), sputum AFB (acid-fast bacillus). If this is positive, it is 100% TB. If this sputum test is negative, get bronchoscopy and BAL (Bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis to rule out TB. I hope this helps. Thank you.

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