I am a tb patient. I am on 3 medicines benadon 40 rcinex and combutol600. This is my 6th month for medication after that doctor said he will stop the medicine. I have given twice my sputum test. First during the 1st month to see the tb bacteria positive. Next I did a month ago with less sputum test which was negative. Now after my complete medication for 6 months. How do I know whether I am completely out of tb or not? Because I don't spit sputum now its rare. So which test I can do to know whether there is no need for more medicine s?
