Is tuberculosis a constant or occasional cough

Patients with tuberculosis will have a persistent cough, in addition to other symptoms such as coughing up sputum and hemoptysis. Patients are advised to take medication and surgery. Patients with tuberculosis may have a cough that lasts for more than two weeks and is accompanied by coughing up sputum, blood in sputum, hemoptysis, low-grade fever in the afternoon, generalized fatigue, night sweats (sweating abnormally after falling asleep, but sweating stops after waking up), loss of appetite, weight loss, and other manifestations. If the patient’s tuberculosis foci involve the pleura, the patient will also have chest pain, dyspnea and other manifestations. Patients with tuberculosis who have a persistent cough can be treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs such as isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide under the guidance of a doctor. If drug treatment is ineffective or tuberculous pyothorax occurs, surgical resection of the lesion is required. If the patient has a persistent cough for more than two weeks, he or she should consult a doctor for further examination to evaluate his or her condition, and the doctor will choose the appropriate treatment for the patient’s condition. In addition, patients with tuberculosis need to be isolated, and patients need to wear masks when they go out and should not spit.
