TB would be in the differential diagnosis. You need to see your Dr. for a TB skin test and maybe a chest x-ray. Other causes of chronic cough could be PND(post-nasal drip), gastric reflux and asthma. I have also seen TB in asymptomatic people. Other symptoms of TB could include weight loss, blood in the sputum, night sweats......BUT see your Doctor for a correct diagnosis.
