Is tb still around?

My son asked me about tuberculosis after hearing about it in school. He thought it was a disease from old times. Is TB still around? I told him it is, but wanted to confirm.

Definitely still around, and more common than people think. I had complications myself because I delayed getting proper treatment initially. So if you're asking because you or someone you know has symptoms, please, see a doctor without delay. Don't take it lightly.

Yes, unfortunately, TB is very much still around. It's a common health challenge, especially in many parts of the world, including India. It's good to be aware and not assume it's eradicated. If you have any health concerns, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Yeah, it's totally still around. I remember hearing about cases even in my city. It's not something that just vanished. So it's important to be aware of the symptoms and get regular check-ups if you feel something is off. Don't ignore it.

Haan yaar, bilkul hai abhi bhi. Log sochte hain chala gaya, but na. Mere mohalle mein bhi ek do cases sunne ko milte hain. Isliye dhyan rakhna padta hai. Symptoms hain toh doctor ko dikhana hi padega.

Yes, unfortunately, TB is still around in our world. We must maintain good health, both physically and spiritually, to face such challenges. If you feel unwell, seek medical guidance, and keep faith that with right care, healing is possible.

Yes, TB is definitely still around. Sometimes, people avoid getting tested due to fear of costs or stigma. But remember, timely tests and treatment are much cheaper and less complicated than dealing with advanced stages. It's a practical health investment.

Yes, it is very much still around. Many people don't realize its prevalence. The key is early detection and religiously following the full course of medication. Don't self-diagnose or think it's a thing of the past. If you have symptoms like a persistent cough, see a doctor.
