Since you don't : list classic symptoms of active pulmonary or laryngeal TB, it's possible, but unlikely. If you have been exposed to someone with active TB or are concerned, ask your doctor for a TB skin test while evaluating you for the cause of your night-time cough. In the absence of fever or other systemic symptoms, causes can be anything from a viral illness to asthma to gastroesophageal reflux.
