Once you understand what tuberculosis is all about and know what the symptoms of tuberculosis are, then if you have the aforementioned symptoms and suspect that you have tuberculosis, especially if you cough and sputum and have blood in your sputum for more than two weeks, you should immediately go to your local tuberculosis control institution for early diagnosis and regular treatment for early recovery. In addition, relatives (close contacts) of patients with bacillary tuberculosis should also undergo health checkups in a timely manner.
