Dear lybrate-user ji
atd treatment should be taken in full especially in mdr cases as the chances of relapse is very high. Vomiting can be reduced once the dosage of medicine is adjusted by your physician.
Meanwhile, I can help you in the following manner:
1. Natural ayurvedic medicines to support your lungs and improve immunity.

Health Query

Hello doctor :) I had been diagnosed with tb but in my report it was written as pulmonary kost. I had pleural fluid in my lungs. Doctors have done tapping and drained the fluid from my lungs but the scarring as a result of tapping is causing me some aches here and there what to do. So what is the exact specific name of the disease? Is it tuberculosis? What type? Is it pulmonary kost? Is it pneumonia? Is it something else? Or all of these terminologies related? What is the root cause of the disease? Can I have cold food? Can I have cold food after the medication has finished? How can I avoid this disease in the future? I was diagnosed with this disease a year before then 6 months I was on medication. I was healthy with just little aches here and there but the other doctor said it is normal to feel these aches. After that a month later I was again diagnosed with the same disease i.e fluid in my lungs. Why did I get this disease the second time? Is it fatal? Thank you! hny!

Patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis began with cough rates like those of patients with drug-sensitive tuberculosis, and, by day 14 of treatment, a similar proportion had achieved clinically normal cough, although most (7/8) were still on first-line treatment.

An air purifier will clear the air of common allergens in your home, which will reduce potential triggers so that you can breathe easy. Literally. A humidifier, on the other hand, can help to reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms including congestion, sore throat, watery eyes, sinus pain, and inflammation.

In contrast with ptb treatment, cure for eptb is difficult to define. Moreover, there are no established criteria for the end of treatment. In case of studies on tb lymphadenitis, residual lymph nodes at the end of treatment have usually been used for assessing treatment outcomes.
