Experiencing Frequent Cough And Chest Pain

I am 35 years old. For past one month i have cough . I am recently developed chest pain. I consulted doctor and get for a chest X-ray, blood test and mantoux test. In my reports- X-ray was clean but low immunity Blood test ok and montaux test positive. However when i consulted doctor she says i have allergic problem and given antibiotics. My cough is almost gone after taking antibiotics. I would also like to mention that i am also under medication for cist in uterius. Pls suggest if i need to consult any other doctor as montaux report was positive.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If you are from India there is no need to worry about a positive mantoux as we all are exposed to tuberculosis one way or the other and it does not mean you have TB. As in India TB is a endemic disease. If your cough is settled and x ray is normal do not worry.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
