I am dealing with this really frustrating cough that just won’t go away. Like, I had tuberculosis last year, and while I thought I was done with it, this persistent cough and all this phlegm keep hanging around. it has been several months since my treatment, and I feel like I’m stuck in this loop! It’s kind of freaking me out because I keep wondering if this cough is a sign that the TB is back or something. I remember the first signs of lung TB were pretty aggressive, and I just can’t shake the worry that maybe I missed something. Like, how do I actually confirm if I have TB again? My doctor said it’s rare, but I’m feeling so much phlegm, and it’s driving me nuts! I heard there are warning symptoms of tuberculosis that I should look out for, but honestly, I’m not sure if I’m overreacting or if this could be serious. Any advice on what I should do about this cough phlegm situation? Should I try to do something natural? Or is it time to see someone again? It’s just really wearing me down.
