10 Key Signs of Tuberculosis

Coughing Discharge

Another possible symptom of tuberculosis is the sputum or sticky discharge when you cough. It would be dark and smelly, which indicates bacterial infection, or odorless and clear, which suggests a viral infection. Also, you need to take notice of whether there has been any blood when you cough into your tissues or hands. When tuberculosis nodules and cavities form, they will destroy blood vessels and tissues nearby, result in this condition. You should always visit and seek medical advice from an expert as soon as you notice this sign. [2]
