First of all don't get afraid because tuberculosis is now a days quite common and also curable. If your x-ray is negative than there are many other investigations from which a physician can diagnose Tb like sputum AFB. For this you have to take anti-Tb treatment for 6-8 months. Start Anti-Tb treatment as early as possible after an expert opinion. Along with you also have to take some protein supplements like proteinax powder 2 tsf with milk twice daily to increase your immune power.
