I'm really worried. I've been having a constant temperature between 99.2 and 99.6 for over a month and a half now. We did all the tests like blood and urine cultures and they came back negative. I've taken the usual antibiotics but they didn't help. My doctor suggested a chest CT and now there's a suspicion of TB. He mentioned getting a TB test, but I don't have any cough or cold, so we can't do a sputum test. Could you take a look at the CT scan and let me know if it really looks like TB? Also, are there any other confirmatory tests we can do for TB apart from the sputum test?

CBNAAT is the confirmatory test for tuberculosis

I'm just getting over the flu, but now I've got this dull pain in my lower left rib area. It's mostly at the front, but I sometimes feel it at the back, and it gets really sharp when I lie down or take deep breaths. I'm also noticing that I'm getting out of breath really quickly and need to take deeper breaths than normal. What could be going on here?

take one chest xray
