If you have tuberculosis, does it matter if you don t cough?

Not necessarily! There are many types of tuberculosis. It can only be said that tuberculosis will definitely have a lung reaction.

1.Primary tuberculosis (type): common in children, mostly asymptomatic, sometimes manifested as low-grade fever, light cough, sweating, rapid heartbeat, poor appetite, etc.; Rarely, breath sounds are diminished, and occasionally dry or wet rales may be heard.

2.Hematogenous disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis (type): acute miliary pulmonary tuberculosis has a rapid onset, with chills, high fever, body temperature can reach more than 40, mostly flaccid fever or residual fever, blood leukocytes can be reduced, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate is accelerated.

Subacute and chronic hematogenous disseminated tuberculosis has a slower progression. 3.Infiltrating tuberculosis ( type ):

There are exudations, infiltrates, and varying degrees of dry cool-like lesions in the lungs. Most cases present slowly and have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, followed by fever, cough, night sweats, chest pain, weight loss, sputum production, and hemoptysis. Routine blood tests show rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate and positive sputum culture of tuberculosis bacteria.

4.Chronic fibrocavitary tuberculosis (type): recurrent fever, cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, night sweats, loss of appetite, etc., chest deformation, chest depression on the affected side, narrowing of the intercostal space, restriction of respiratory movement, displacement of trachea to the affected side, and decreased breathing.

Routine blood examination showed an increase in ESR, a positive sputum culture of tuberculosis bacteria, and X-ray showed three major characteristics: cavitation, fibrosis, and bronchial dissemination. It depends on what type of tuberculosis it belongs to! Moreover, it is not necessary to cough with tuberculosis!

It doesn't have to be a cough or tuberculosis! It depends on whether you have lung lesions, and now the CDC is generally free of charge for the first diagnosis** tuberculosis! It's still the same sentence, early detection, early **.

Hello After being infected with tuberculosis, you may not all have symptoms, and you may not all need to **. Therefore, it is normal not to cough. **Tuberculosis, it is recommended to take Chinese medicine ginseng healing pills**, the effect will be very good.

Q: How should I choose the right medicine for my cough? a：

When choosing your own cough medicine, the key is to distinguish which of your cough belongs to cold, heat, deficiency and reality. If you cough, is there phlegm? What color is phlegm?

Do you have chills and fever? The amount of cough sputum and so on. If the cough is thin, white or foamy, and the throat is itchy, it mostly belongs to the cold syndrome, and it is necessary to use anti-cold cough medicines, such as wind-cold cough powder; If you cough up yellow phlegm, or gray phlegm is mostly hot, it is a heat syndrome, and you should use heat-clearing phlegm cough medicine, such as emergency syrup; If you cough with a lot of phlegm in the morning, or have phlegm lumps, most of them are phlegm damp cough, and you should use phlegm-reducing cough medicines, such as half summer dew; If the dry cough has less phlegm, itchy throat, autumn dry cough, or yin deficiency, it is necessary to use cough medicine to moisten the lungs, such as Chuanbei loquat dew and the like; If it is a dry cough and does not stop coughing for a long time, antitussive drugs can be used appropriately, such as strong loquat dew.

It doesn't matter, there is one less uncomfortable symptom, which is also a good thing, indicating that there is less damage to the lungs.

Tuberculosis without any symptoms Generally speaking, tuberculosis patients still have more symptoms, such as chest pain, cough, coughing up blood, etc., but many people are told that they have tuberculosis when they go for examination, but the patients themselves have no symptoms. Will tuberculosis be asymptomatic?

In densely populated large cities, especially those with large population mobility, many friends have "dealed" with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and we have unknowingly become infected with tuberculosis (surveys show that about 50% of the social population has a positive tuberculin test).

Why do most people with TB end up not becoming TB patients? The point is that our body is immune to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. When Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the human body through the air and other routes, such as the lungs and trachea, the immune cells and immune factors in the human immune system will immediately mobilize to encircle and suppress the invading "enemies" and eliminate them.

However, when the body's immunity is weakened due to various reasons such as old age, diabetes, severe colds, staying up late, alcoholism or long-term use of hormones, the virulence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli that invade the human body will prevail, causing lesions in human organs such as lungs.

In the initial stage of the lesion, the human body does not have the characteristic symptoms of tuberculosis such as cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, weight loss, low-grade fever, etc., and can not feel any "discomfort" at all. Therefore, asymptomatic tuberculosis is usually found in health examinations, and the current modern tuberculosis prevention and control strategy is to "see a doctor for symptoms" as the main way to find tuberculosis, and asymptomatic tuberculosis patients found in health examinations have undoubtedly become the beneficiary group of "early detection, early **, early**".

Frequent cough may be laryngitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, pleural disease, etc., not necessarily tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is a fever, not eating or drinking, low-grade fever during the day, flushed cheeks in the afternoon, and night sweats at night. Tuberculosis is a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. I often cough, but I don't have much phlegm, and sometimes the phlegm is bloodshot when it is done purely.

Frequent coughing is believed to be pulmonary tuberculosis, which may be caused by the absorption of some unhealthy and unclean gases by the lungs, which is the accumulation of dirty accumulation in the lungs due to the long-term absorption of dirty air socks.

1. Where is your tuberculosis diagnosed, first of all, you must find out whether it is old or active;

2. If it is old and has cough symptoms, consider whether it is co-infected, go to the respiratory department, and prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs and cough medicines may be improved;

3. Active pulmonary tuberculosis, mostly manifested as chronic cough, sputum production, low-grade fever (no more than 38 degrees), night sweats, severe weight loss, hemoptysis, pleural effusion, need to be hospitalized**, use anti-tuberculosis drugs, generally 6 months-9 months, take it regularly, can **.

Tuberculosis is not **, it will gradually worsen, seriously affect physical health, cause harm to society and family, and even death.

Anti-tuberculosis drugs are somewhat ***, but most people can afford them. There are also some people, after taking anti-tuberculosis drugs, it will lead to abnormal liver function, and a very small number of people can also have acute liver necrosis, kidney failure and allergies.

Tuberculosis can have no symptoms in the early stages, and coughing is just one of the symptoms of tuberculosis.

Guiding opinions: The best tuberculosis should adhere to the principles of early, regular, whole, appropriate amount, and combination. In the early stage, anti-tuberculosis drugs are immediately administered to all detected and confirmed patients**, which is conducive to the rapid early bactericidal effect. Promotes lesion resorption and reduces infectivity.

The rule is to take the medicine regularly according to the doctor's instructions, do not miss the dose, and do not stop the medicine, so as not to develop drug resistance. The whole process is to ensure that the specified ** time is generally 9 18 months. The appropriate amount is to use the drug strictly according to the dosage, and the low drug can not reach the effective blood concentration, which affects the efficacy and is easy to produce drug resistance, and the dose is too large to occur.

Combination is the simultaneous use of 3 or 4 anti-TB drugs** to improve efficacy.
