Can tb cause sore throat?

For the past few weeks, I've had a sore throat that just won't go away, along with a cough. I'm a bit worried because my cousin had TB some time ago. Can TB sometimes cause a sore throat?

I totally get it, a constant sore throat can be so exhausting and uncomfortable. If you are coughing continuously due to TB, the throat will naturally get raw and painful. Please drink warm water and get it checked by a doc so you can get some relief.

Chronic coughing from lung issues often leaves the throat highly irritated and sore. Try to stay hydrated and do some gentle indoor walking to keep your blood circulation healthy, provided your body feels up for it. Don't push yourself too hard though, rest is key.

I just completed my medication last month and yes, the constant coughing literally shredded my throat. It felt like a bad sore throat almost every morning. Warm saline gargles helped me survive those rough days, but definitely mention it to your physician.

Maine adrak ka ras, mulethi aur garm paani ke gargles sab try kiya tha jab mujhe aisi khansi aur sore throat thi. It gives great temporary relief, honestly. But remember, these are just to soothe the pain, the main TB treatment should never be skipped.

Haan na, continuous cough se gala pura dukhne lagta hai, simple baat hai. TB ke cases mein throat irritation bahut common hai. Aap thoda garm paani piyo aur resting pe dhyan do, par checkup karwana mat bhoolna haan.
