Apply local heat to the chest wall and discuss the use of NSAIDs to control pain. TB physician may send you for additional testing and imaging as indicated to ensure that the infection is completely irradiated. TB infection may recur and while there may be several causes resulting in productive cough, TB should be ruled out.
