Hi.
Thanks for seeking help.
You seem to be having an attack of Allergic bronchitis, which will have to be treated with steroid inhalers / rotahalers for a few days to few weeks.
Seek medical help in this regard from a Pulmunologist[ Lung Specialist].
I am sure the doctors have ruled out the possibility of tuberculosis.
Take care.
