I'm really concerned about endobronchial tuberculosis. Is it something that can be cured? Also, how long do I need to be on TB medication for this?

I've been having this dry cough and my throat is super itchy. It's way worse at night, but during the day it's not so bad. Any idea what's going on or how I can make it stop?

Could you help me understand if a normal chest X-ray taken two months after being around someone with TB means I definitely don't have pulmonary TB? Also, can a chest X-ray reliably catch pulmonary TB, or should I be doing other tests? I'm a bit worried and just want to be sure.

Yes,chest x-ray and sputum for AFB and microscopy is advised to the patient for the diagnosis of tb.

I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been going on for about three weeks now, but it's not there all the time. I've been taking amrutarishta twice a day and calcimax forte for vitamin D each day, and also getting about 15-20 minutes of sunlight daily. I had a chest x-ray, phlegm test, blood test, and thyroid test, and everything came back normal. Could you recommend something to help with this cough?

A chest x-ray repeat, complete blood test and lung function tests is advised to the patient.
