Coughing is a very common problem of lots of infections and allergic states. If the cough is persistent, getting worse, associated with a fever, you might want to discuss this with your physician again and possibly get a chest x-ray. Having a history of TB does not mean that each time you get a cough it has come back. However, having had TB means that a persistence of symptoms should be evaluated.
