Sarcosis or tuberculosis or both

[nkm70]

I am a 38 years old person. I have allergytic cough from my child hood. About 05 months back red rashes appeared on my left leg and it started paining and the affected portion remained hot always. As my left leg was fractured about 06 years before a X-ray was done but nothing objectionable was detected. In the meantime cough started coming out and suddenly I got bed ridden. I was unable to walk and do my daily works. Then I contacted a Physician. Under his supervision various tests were done including X-ray of the chest. In the X-ray upper right hilum was detected. The test for skin TB and Sputum test/Sputum Culture test came negative. On the basis of X-ray report and CT Scan report my physician started T.B. medicine about 04 months ago. Since then  my health has been improved and I joined my duty ; two more X-rays of chest are taken ( one after two months and another after 03 months) but no improvement is seen in upper right hillum. Now my physician has started steroids alongwith the medicines of T.B.

           I want to know from the learned readers that Whether I am a patient of TB or Sacosis or Both? Whether my medication is in right direction or not? In this connection it is mentionworthy that never blood came in my sputum. But my cough continues till date. Any suggestion for quick recovery of my problem is higly solicited.

           Waiting for an early reply.
