My aunt's been dealing with this persistent cough for such a long time, and it just seems to be getting worse. We've tried all sorts of treatments, both allopathy and homeopathy, but nothing's really helping. It's pretty concerning. What should we do? Is there a specific treatment approach we should consider to actually get to the root of this problem?

So, I've been to see a chest specialist, and he thinks I have TB because I'm dealing with pleurisy. He hasn't done any reports but is giving me medicine for it. Is this normal? I also did a TB Gold test, and it came back positive with a gamma radiation level of 0.45. Does this mean I definitely have TB? I'm a bit worried and would love your input.

yes you gave tb

I'm really getting worried because I've had this cough for three weeks now, and sometimes it comes with a fever. I already did a 5-day course of antibiotics, but it hasn't helped at all and the cough is still there. What could be going on, and should I be trying something different?

then do one chest xray
