Hi ! I had gone through your question and I understand your concern .

I would say TB is dangerous and that are 2 Problems that if you have active TB can show up:
-Your health , TB if its in the throat can go to the lungs and cause pneumonia also in other organs , kidney
-You can infect others if you have TB active in your throat .
TB active means that you have symptoms of dissease .
Being in a contact with a person that has TB has a great chance you can get it .

Sometimes is difficult to do a diagnosis only according to the symptoms , is very important to do some examination to confirm the diagnosis and only your local doctor can do that.

Wish you good health
