warm saline gurgling and throat to be examined by ent doctor sputum to be examined for AFB..it can be infiltration of apical region, most probably tuber cular. get examined by pulmunologist and observe clinically for other signs and symptoms like evening rise of temperature and loss of weight. repeat over night sputum examination for AFB if confirmed then anti tuber cular treatment should be started.
