Tuberculosis (TB) Treatment by Dr. Priyanka Aggarwal
Tuberculosis, commonly called TB, is a serious but completely curable infectious disease. It mainly affects the lungs but can also involve other parts of the body. TB is caused by bacteria that spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. Common symptoms include persistent cough for more than 2-3 weeks, coughing up blood, evening fever, night sweats, weight loss, loss of appetite, and tiredness. If not treated properly, TB can become dangerous and spread to family members. The good news is that with timely diagnosis and complete treatment, almost all patients can be cured and live healthy lives. Early action is the key to quick recovery.
