Brief Answer:
Cough could be part of TB.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
The coughing could be part of th itself and he should continue his forcox. We have to give atleast 3 to 4 weeks time to see the result of tb treatment.
I'm sure he will start showing improvement soon.
TB treatment is difficult and patient's cooperation is equally important. Do not miss out a single dose. I hope he has no allergies and is a nonsmoker.
I hope this answers your query. If you have any more doubts do post them. I will be glad to answer them
Take care.
