Patient's question:
Turned into a few strands of yellow sputum. Lung infection has not healed for 6 months. In March 2009, due to fever and cough, a chest X-ray revealed bronchitis, but it did not recover and was re-examined. In August 2009, chest pain was investigated and discovered that the left upper lobe of the tongue segment was infected (scattered spots and patchy increased density shadows).Doctor's answer:
Please take the medication for tuberculosis seriously. Why? Because although there are many laboratory tests that can carefully check for tuberculosis, a significant small portion of tuberculosis cases still cannot be detected. This is due to the nature of the tuberculosis bacteria. If there is no laboratory test evidence, but the clinical symptoms are similar to tuberculosis, doctors generally adopt a diagnostic treatment approach, which means starting medication for tuberculosis and treating for two months. If it is effective, a diagnosis can be made. This is completely the right approach. Therefore, I personally recommend starting treatment with medication.Advice: I hope my response is helpful to you, and I am always willing to assist you with further consultations.
