Can u die from tb?
My neighbour's child was diagnosed with TB a few months ago, and they are taking medicines now. I always thought TB was a very serious disease. Does it still cause death, even with modern treatment?

Yes, Tuberculosis can be fatal if you don't take proper treatment. I tried many home remedies like turmeric milk and herbal teas for my persistent cough, but nothing worked until I went to the government clinic. Please take the DOTS medication prescribed by the doctor without skipping a single day.

Yes, untreated TB can cause severe lung damage and eventually lead to death. It is highly curable today, but you must complete the full 6-to-9-month antibiotic course strictly. Consult a pulmonologist and keep track of your daily doses.

I totally get it, hearing about a TB diagnosis can be incredibly scary and overwhelming. Yes, it can be fatal if ignored, but please remember that with modern medicine, it is completely curable. Please stay strong and follow your doctor's instructions.

Yes, Tuberculosis remains a major cause of mortality when left untreated or if the treatment is incomplete, leading to drug-resistant strains. It is absolutely vital to get tested and follow a qualified doctor's complete prescription protocol.

Yes, it is a very serious disease and can be fatal. I have been coughing for two weeks and I'm so worried it might be TB. Did anyone else here feel extreme fatigue and night sweats before getting tested?
