Do i have TB?

Question

How do i know if i have TB bc my ob asked me to take a tdap last appt but i told her i already signed a paper to take that in second trimester. Well now a week later I have a horrible cough. And now im scared that i might have tb.

Answer

Tdap= tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough)... nothing to do with tuberculosis. But you could get a ppd or chest xray if you think that's actually the issue..

Answer

Tdap shot is for tetanus and somethin else... Not for TB

Answer

Just because you have a horrible cough doesn't mean you have TB. If you have a concern you should be calling your doctor about it since they can best judge what you may experiencing.

Answer

The test for tuberculosis is a simple poke in your arm.
