I'm really worried. I've been having a constant temperature between 99.2 and 99.6 for over a month and a half now. We did all the tests like blood and urine cultures and they came back negative. I've taken the usual antibiotics but they didn't help. My doctor suggested a chest CT and now there's a suspicion of TB. He mentioned getting a TB test, but I don't have any cough or cold, so we can't do a sputum test. Could you take a look at the CT scan and let me know if it really looks like TB? Also, are there any other confirmatory tests we can do for TB apart from the sputum test?

CBNAAT is the confirmatory test for tuberculosis

I've been having some issues with mucous and chest congestion lately. There's this white, jelly-like, and sometimes fibrous mucous coming from my lungs, and my chest gets tight around the left lower rib or in the center. Coughing it up usually helps with the tightness, but it's becoming concerning. Also, I wake up with bad breath and some upper back pain below my shoulders. I don't have a fever or breathing problems, but I'm dealing with acidity, heartburn, and flatulence. I'm wondering if these symptoms are connected and what I should do about them? Any advice would be appreciated.

Your symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis or a lingering respiratory infection, with the white jelly-like or fibrous mucus indicating a possible fungal or bacterial overgrowth; meanwhile, the acidity, heartburn, and flatulence may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so consider consulting md medicine
