Persistent cough for three weeks make your physician to think about tuberculosis.
You should probably see your primary care physician to see what is causing the cough. A persistent cough could be something serious such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis as mentioned above, lung cancer, or something else. It could also be something more benign like a post-viral cough, but it would be best to see your doctor and have them examine you to make sure you are well.
