I have been experiencing chest pain for the past four months and suspect I might have tuberculosis. What diagnostic tests should I undergo to confirm this, and what is the standard medication used to treat TB?

Asked by Male, 35 · 1 month ago

Chest pain can stem from various causes, so a proper medical evaluation is essential. To diagnose TB, doctors typically recommend a chest X-ray, sputum tests to look for the bacteria, and a blood test (IGRA) or skin test. If diagnosed, TB is cured using a standard six-month course of daily oral antibiotics. This regimen combines four primary generic medications: Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol. I strongly advise visiting a healthcare provider soon for a definitive diagnosis and a personalised care plan.
