Is tb a deadly disease?

My aunt recently passed away due to complications from TB, and it was very sudden. It made me wonder, is TB still considered a deadly disease? I thought it was curable now.

Listen, TB can be very serious if left untreated, but with proper medication and full course completion, it's usually curable. It's not necessarily deadly if you get good care. Don't worry too much, just consult a doctor immediately.

From what I've seen around me, people do recover from TB if they stick to their medicines. I wouldn't call it 'deadly' in the sense of being incurable today, but it does require serious attention. Always take doctor's advice.

I've heard stories that make it sound very scary, but also read that treatments are quite advanced now. So I'm curious, is it deadly like it used to be, or are we much better at managing it today?

Na bhai, abhi toh itna deadly nahi hai agar time pe pata chal jaaye aur poora course karo. Pehle hota tha maybe, jab medicines nahi thi itni. Ab toh full recovery ho jaati hai mostly.

Beta, agar dawaai time pe le loge aur doctor ki baat manoge toh theek ho jaoge. Pehle bahut log isse marte the, par ab achhe ilaaj hain. Darne ki baat nahi, bas laparwahi mat karna.

It can be deadly if treatment is delayed or incomplete, which sometimes happens if people can't afford consistent care or tests. The government programs help a lot now. So, timely diagnosis and sticking to the (often free) treatment schedule is crucial to avoid it becoming deadly.

While I always try natural ways for minor issues, for something as serious as TB, home remedies are not enough. It can be very dangerous if you don't see a proper doctor and take the prescribed medicines. Please, don't take risks with TB.
