I've been dealing with a wet cough for the last three years, but I haven't noticed any other symptoms like fever, unexpected weight loss, or feeling sick generally. I'm really concerned whether this could be tuberculosis. Could you suggest what tests I should consider for diagnosing TB? Also, does the Quantiferon Gold TB test effectively diagnose TB with just one test?

yes can help and do CBNAAT

I'm a bit worried because it's been a month since I had COVID, and now I'm experiencing breathing issues. Its strange because when I tested positive, I didn't have any breathing problems at all. Do you know why this might be happening now?

there might be chest congestion, if it is too much difficulty of breathing do chest xray

There's also this discomfort when I'm breathing, and I hear this sound coming from my chest that feels like congestion. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be taking any medication for it?
