Can you still get tb?
I have an elderly relative who recently got tested for TB after a persistent cough. It made me wonder, with all the advancements in medicine and vaccinations, can you still get TB in India, or is it largely eradicated?

Yes, TB is still very common in our areas. But don't worry, if anyone gets a cough for more than two weeks, government hospitals give free medicine and they get fully cured.

Oh absolutely, TB is very much around. If someone is recovering, they need a super high-protein diet with eggs, paneer, and fresh fruits to regain all that lost weight and energy!

In our younger days, TB was a very scary word, but now the medical science is so advanced. If you have any symptoms, just get tested early and take the medicines regularly without missing a day.

While eating healthy and taking warm milk with turmeric helps build immunity, TB is a serious bacterial disease. You must visit a doctor and take proper hospital medicines, home tips alone won't cure it.

Yes, India still has a high number of TB cases. The key is to watch out for a cough lasting over 2 weeks, night sweats, and weight loss, and get a sputum test done immediately.

People with diabetes have lower immunity, making them more prone to getting TB. Keep your blood sugar levels under strict control and don't ignore any chronic cough.

Absolutely, TB can affect anyone. If you have symptoms, logging your fever patterns and getting a chest X-ray or doctor consultation quickly is the smartest way to handle it.
