A member asked:
How can you tell if you have tuberculosis without going to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't : If you feel like you have tb, then you need to be examined. Tb is a public health risk. If you don't get evaluated and you have tb, you are putting youself and those around you at risk.
