Tuberculosis – Are These Symptoms Worth Getting Checked?

by Symptom Advice on March 23, 2011

I've just been to the doctors because i'm coughing up phlegm, waking up in the night in a cold sweat & feeling generally feverish & run down.
He examined my chest & said it sounded all good & healthy.
However, 2 years ago I worked with a child who had severe Tuberculosis. so the doctor said he would consult a specialist TB nurse & let me know what she recommends.
Are there any medical people on here tonight who know anything about TB, and do you think i'm wasting their time when the doctor has said my chest seems fine? thank you.

Go back and ask for a chest Xray.

Better safe than sorry. I think you should get checked out.
