Is tb permanent?

My aunt just completed her TB treatment, and she's worried if it will come back again or if she's completely free from it. Is TB permanent? Or can it be cured completely?

Permanent? Only my love for Biryani is permanent, haha! Jokes aside, TB is definitely treatable with the right medication. It's not a life sentence, so don't you worry. Just follow the doctor's orders properly.

From what I understand, with complete adherence to the prescribed medication and a good nutritious diet, TB can be cured. It's not permanent. Focus on nourishing your body well during treatment; that's what my dietician always stresses.

I totally get why you'd ask that question, the thought of something being permanent is scary. But no, TB is a curable disease. It requires a long course of antibiotics, but if you complete it, you can recover fully. Hang in there!

I also had this fear, like, will it ever really go away? But my doctor assured me it's not permanent if treated correctly. Did anyone else here feel this anxiety about it recurring even after treatment? It's a bit unsettling.
