I had low grade fever for 1 month and also got positive TB skin test. Doctor said no need of medicines by seeing chest x ray which showed tiny hila node. But I still have low grade fever. But no other symptoms of TB. Do I have TB?

It is possible that fever is due to tuberculosis and you may need treatment. Need to see your chest x ray. Information is not sufficient.

Tb skin test is positive in most Indians as we are exposed to TB. If a hilar node is present, you should get a TB gold test done ro confirm. Get the test done. A careful history and evaluation can also help you with a diagnosis. Feel free to consult if you would like my assistance.
