Do I have Tuberculosis? (people in the medical field...

[Talk Talk]

...please)? Ok well I got sick on Thursday meaning a cold. I had sniffs runny nose all that. there was some mucus in my throat. than three days later my throat hurt and I started to cough. Now I don't feel that sick anymore like no nose problem but I''m coughing and it feels like theres still mucus in my throat. Do I have TB? Or is the mucus just trying to leave the body?PS I got a TB shot when youngerI had a chest x-ray about 5 months ago it was clear

Best seek medical advise, more then likely it sounds like a chest cold and or allergies!There are many more symptoms then you have described that are associated with TB....

haha...! no TB. dont worry. you, most likely have the old fashioned staph pharyngitis. gargle with warm salt water after every meal and you 'll be fine...

Your symptoms are likely more of the ordinary upper respiratory tract infection. Try taking in more fluids than usual. Its still the best and cheapest mucolytic. Try gurgling with warm water with a pinch of salt.
