I am glad that you are following dots and your weight is increasing this means that your body has favourably reacted to the treatment and you are on the path to recovery this also means that the disease is not spreading, but tb bacteria are dying please be cheerful and happy.

Hi, 100% compliance of att is required for complete cure. Though chances of giving infection are less after 3 months of therapy but one should not take risk and continue medicine till 6-9 months.
