It feels like I have tuberculosis, I don't know, do I?

If you feel as if you have tuberculosis but are not sure whether it is tuberculosis, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and have relevant examinations under the guidance of a doctor. If you are diagnosed with tuberculosis, you need to treat it aggressively as prescribed.

First, it is not the case of tuberculosis

1. Upper respiratory tract infection: such as acute rhinitis and other diseases, cough symptoms can appear, similar to cough caused by tuberculosis, usually accompanied by runny nose and other symptoms;

2. Bronchial asthma: when the patient is exposed to allergens, there will be symptoms of irritating dry cough, which can also be manifested as a cough similar to tuberculosis, and will also be accompanied by chest tightness and dyspnea;

3. Pneumonia: If there is pneumonia caused by bacterial or viral infection, it can also cause symptoms such as cough and fever, and it may also be mistaken for tuberculosis.

Second, it may be the case of tuberculosis

If you are constantly in a dusty work environment, or if you smoke for a long time, you may increase your risk of tuberculosis. If you are in close contact with a tuberculosis patient, you are also prone to infection and illness. At this time, it is necessary to complete a chest X-ray, sputum smear acid-fast staining test, and tuberculin test to confirm the diagnosis.

Once diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor to use rifampicin capsules, isoniazid tablets and other drugs for standardized treatment. Attention should be paid to avoid going to crowded places to avoid cross-infection.
