How severe is tb?

TB is a serious bacterial infection, and if you have diabetes, it can get much worse because of low immunity. You have to be very careful with your diet, eat high protein, and keep your blood sugar strictly controlled while taking the TB course. Don't skip any dose.

TB is not just physically hard, but the social stigma and long treatment can really break you emotionally. I felt very isolated during my six months of therapy, but please remember you are not alone and this phase will pass. Stay strong.

I absolutely panicked when my husband was diagnosed with TB, thinking it was a life-threatening disaster. But honestly, once the medication starts, the cough reduces in just a few weeks and life gets back to normal. Just complete the full course!

Is it normal to feel extremely weak and lose a lot of weight during TB? I was diagnosed last week and I am so scared of the long medicine course. Did anyone else here feel totally exhausted in the first month?

You can take warm honey water to soothe your throat, but TB is a very serious bacterial illness that cannot be cured at home. You must take the proper antibiotic course prescribed by a doctor, otherwise the infection can damage your lungs permanently.

Honestly, TB sounds super scary but it is fully curable now. One of my hostel friends had it last semester, he took his meds regularly for six months and now he is totally fine and back to playing football.
