How to remove tb?
Someone in my extended family was recently diagnosed with TB. It made me wonder, how exactly do doctors 'remove' TB from someone's body? Is it purely through medicines, or is there more to it?

I tried so many home remedies like ginger turmeric tea and herbal powders for my chronic cough, but none of it cured my TB. You absolutely must take the proper DOTS course prescribed by your doctor. Home remedies can only support your strength, not cure the infection.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! TB is completely curable nowadays with proper medical treatment. Just make sure you take your medicines daily without skipping a single dose, and you'll be perfectly fine soon.
TB requires a strict multi-drug antibiotic regimen for at least 6 months under direct medical supervision. You can use pill tracker apps to make sure you never miss a dose, as consistency is critical to prevent drug resistance. Keep your doctor updated.
With TB, you cannot afford to skip work days indefinitely, so early diagnosis is key. Go to a government DOTS center or a private specialist immediately, get your sputum test done, and start the treatment. It takes a few weeks to become non-infectious so you can return to work.
In India, the government provides free diagnosis and complete TB treatment under the Nikshay program. Don't worry about high medical costs. Just go to your nearest government hospital, get the tests done, and complete the full course of medicines.
Getting a TB diagnosis can cause so much panic and social anxiety, I completely understand what you are going through. But please take a deep breath; modern medicine cures it completely. Just focus on your daily medication and eating a high-protein diet to recover.
I totally get it, the long treatment duration and heavy medicines can feel very tiring and difficult to cope with. But completing the entire course is the only way to remove TB from your body. Please stay strong and keep taking your doses regularly.
