I have been diagnosed with lymphnode tb 20 days back and I have started taking the medicines as prescribed by Dr. My chest X-Ray was clear. However since past 8-10 days I have been having cough. Would that mean that TB bacteria had infected my lungs now and it could be tb of lymphnode and lungs both ?
Generally TB bacteria first enter the lungs and spread to rest of the organ from there. Yes it could be tb of both lungs and lymph nodes, but the treatment remains the same for tb anywhere.
