Hi,
It is not advisable to star anti-tuberculosis medicine by your self.
It requires evaluation of your case to know that is there any active TB lesion in the lungs.
After all reports like CBC, ESR, x-ray chest your doctor will decide the line of treatment.
Your present complain might be due to smoking or some respiratory tract infection.
Ok and take care.
