Detailed explanation-1: -Cough duration The duration of the TB cough will be different from a regular cough. The TB cough will last more than three weeks because the TB bacteria are difficult for the immune system to fight so the cough does not go away. Meanwhile, a normal cough can last only a few days.
Detailed explanation-2: -Signs and symptoms of active TB include: Coughing for three or more weeks. Coughing up blood or mucus. Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tuberculosis treatment response may be meaningfully assessed by objectively monitoring the time spent coughing. This measure demonstrated that cough was increased in patients with TB recurrence or co-morbid diabetes, but not because of drug resistance or HIV co-infection.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the case of COVID-19, this cough could last for as long as six months after the viral infection, especially if the patient contracted Omicron because it is more airway dependent than the original strain.
