Tuberculous pleurisy can have coughing symptoms. Tuberculous pleurisy is a lesion caused by infection of the pleura by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and there can be a small amount of exudate in the early stage. However, the increase in effusion should be treated promptly, because if it is not treated promptly, it will compress the lungs and cause breathing difficulties. The main treatment method is to drain the fluid in the chest cavity in time or to give anti-tuberculosis treatment. If the patient has significant chest pain or toxic symptoms such as fever, corticosteroid treatment can be given. If the patient has coughing, especially if the chest pain and cough do not ease with the change of position, he should go to the hospital for timely consultation and take chest X-ray or ultrasound examination to see if there are lesions in the lung and chest cavity, so that early detection and treatment will be more effective.
