Mgt: It may be possible to have few or no symptoms and still have TB infection. I would advise checking your TB skin test. If positive along with a Chest Radiograph that shows findings that could be TB, further testing is recommended. Treatment plans will be formulated by your physician. I can review the chest radiograph if it is uploaded.
