What are the early symptoms of TB? - #23

Persistent fatigue and a cough that lingers for weeks can be frustrating, and it’s understandable that you’d be concerned about the possibility of tuberculosis (TB). The early symptoms of TB can include persistent cough (often lasting more than three weeks), unexplained weight loss, night sweats, fever, and fatigue. While it’s true that TB is less common in some places, it hasn’t disappeared entirely. Given your symptoms, it’s a good idea to get checked out by a healthcare provider. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. They might suggest a chest X-ray, along with a test called a sputum smear or culture, to rule out TB. If TB is confirmed, it is treatable with antibiotics
