A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are many...: ....Many reasons for cough, including colds, flu, asthma, and many others. However, the number one concern is that the TB isn't really gone. She needs to be evaluated by her doctor to make sure she doesn't have active tuberculosis. Then, after that, other reasons for cough can be explored and other treatments tried.
