I'm really worried about my younger brother. He's been dealing with a cough and back pain for a few weeks now. He's also having trouble breathing, and it's like it gets better for a while but then comes back. This has been going on for almost 34 weeks. What should I do?

I've been wondering if it's a good idea to get tested for TB every year to catch it early. Also, is it possible to have active TB without showing any symptoms?
The most common test for TB is the Mantoux tuberculin skin test or the TB blood test. Early detection can help in timely treatment and prevent the spread of the disease. Is it possible to have active TB without any symptom? Yes, it is possible to have active TB without any symptoms.
