a bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer
pain in the chest
coughing up blood or sputum (phlegm from deep inside the lungs)
Other symptoms of TB disease are
weakness or fatigue
weight loss
no appetite
chills
fever sweating at night
prevention
To help stop the spread of TB:
If you have a latent infection, take all of your medication so it doesn’t become active and contagious.
If you have active TB, limit your contact with other people. Cover your mouth when you laugh, sneeze, or cough. Wear a surgical mask when you’re around other people during the first weeks of treatment.
