can someone have Tuberculosis but not have a cough?!


Question: Can someone have Tuberculosis but not have a cough?
I read that coughing isn't always a primary symptom, I've been around more than one person with Tuberculosis for weeks. I sleep at night with the blanket and wake up sweating in the morning, in a below temperature room my body shakes when it feels cold, though more than once I checked my armpits to see that I was sweating. I have high anxiety as a result of this....living situation as well, though can anxiety cause a person to shake, sweat, and feel cold?

Answers:

You can't get it from sex, but you can get it from airborne droplets and saliva.

You need to get tested immediately and get a chest xray. And to talk to the people who exposed them and they need to get treatment too.

You need to also contact the office/ER you go to before you go or immediately after you get there to let them know you had a TB exposure so you can get isolated and masked.

Either way you should have a test done on you. They are very simple, they give you a shot and if the area turns dark then you have been exposed or have it. You need to go to a doctor and get this resolved bc if you were exposed there is a time it takes to contract the full disease and there is medicine to prevent it



Michael until you get tested you wont relax no matter what I tell you. Get tested so you can have peace of mind. It's best to know but I highly doubt you have it unless you had sex with someone who had it.

TB isn't just a STD -- it's airborne. Go to the doctor.
