Hi, my sister is suffering from lungs TB from November 2016. Doctor said that her lungs is filled with fluid. They suggested to tap. They tapped 2 times. First time to take sample. My sister couldn't breath easily. Then they tap second time. After that she felt better and the doctor said that she will have to take medicines for 6 months. The doctor called her next month. After seeing her xray and other report the doc again said for tapping. What should we do?
