I was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis 6 years ago and took ATT for 6 months but then I stopped. I'm not sure if the TB is completely gone. How can I check if I'm in the clear now?

View allMy spouse has had a dry cough for the past two months. It's not constant or really severe, but it's been lingering for a while now. It all started with a fever and wet cough for two days, but now it's just a dry cough. He's been on medication for a week, and although its improved a bit, it hasn't completely gone away. Oddly enough, he sometimes starts coughing after drinking water. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution to this. Could you help us figure out what might be going on?

I'm a TB patient and I've been on government-prescribed medicine for 22 days now, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Should I consider switching to a private treatment option?

I've had this cough for about six months now. I've been taking Sigcet M, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone, and also using cough syrup. I even checked my sputum three times, and it was negative each time. I did a CBNAAT test, and that was negative too. What should I do next? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.
