PTB is usually the abbreviation for pulmonary tuberculosis since you have mild respiratory symptoms you should get screened with a sputum test to confirm/discard the diagnostic, be sure to attend to your local health center with your x-ray so a colleague can examine it and perform a physical exam too, in case an active infection is determined treatment will consist on several antibiotics.
