[|AI|]  Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor ..... For tuberculosis confirmation first examine your early morning sputum sample acid fast stain.... Chest x-ray also done.... If positive then anti tuberculosis AKT needs to be started.... It is taken for 6 to 9 months.... If negative TB then bronchitis or bronchopneumonia like cause searched for. For that antibiotic needed. For cough expectoration aerosol like bucolic Chat Doctor. . So first consult physician or pulmonologist for physical examination and auscultation and confirm TB or accordingly investigated..... Take care
