What are the symptoms for tb disease?

When my driver showed symptoms of TB, we took him to a highly reputed hospital where the chest specialist did a proper sputum culture and blood test. The primary symptoms are a chronic cough with phlegm or blood, extreme fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. Please consult a qualified doctor at a good clinic and ask them for a clear diagnosis.

Based on my research and what our family physician explained, pulmonary tuberculosis presents with a persistent cough with sputum, sometimes hemoptysis (blood in spit), chest pain, drenching night sweats, and significant cachexia (muscle wasting). It is essential to undergo a GeneXpert test for a definitive diagnosis and to check for drug resistance.

My roommate had TB last semester and he had this crazy cough that just wouldn't stop, along with low fever every evening and lots of weight loss. He went to the college clinic, got his medicines, and now he is totally fine. If you have these symptoms, just go get a quick checkup, don't ignore it.

Let's be direct: if you have a cough that won't go away after two weeks, night sweats, and sudden weight loss, you need a chest X-ray and sputum test immediately. TB is fully curable with DOTS therapy, but ignoring it can cause serious damage and spread it to your family. Get tested without any delay.

TB symptoms like a continuous cough, mild evening fever, and weakness are very common, and thankfully, government hospitals provide the entire DOTS treatment absolutely free of cost. If you are worried about expensive tests, just visit your nearest government primary health center. They will do the sputum test and chest X-ray very practically and quickly.
