Question

I'm really confused about my test results for TB. On December 27th, I got a sputum test, and it was positive. But then the next day, I did another sputum test, and that came back negative. The Truenat test on the 29th and the CBNAAT on the 30th were also negative. My chest X-ray is normal according to my local doctor, and some symptoms like weakness have gotten better, though I still have a mild chest pain. My blood report was normal except for ESR being 26, lymphocytes at 43, and cholesterol at 216. With my initial test being positive and all the following ones negative, I'm really unsure whether I have TB or not and whether I should start taking any medication. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
