Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.....
For tuberculosis confirmation first examine your early morning sputum sample acid fast stain....
Chest x ray also done....
If positive then anti tuberculosis AKT needs to be started....
It is taken for 6 to 9 month....
If negative TB then bronchitis or bronchopneumonia like cause searched for.
For that antibiotic needed.
For cough expectoration ambroxol like mucolytic drug given...
So first consult physician or pulmonologist for physical examination and auscultation and confirm TB or accordingly investigated.....
Take care
