TB can be serious, but it's largely curable now, especially if treated completely. Please speak to a doctor at a good hospital. They can give you accurate stats and explain everything about treatment and recovery.

Globally, TB mortality has reduced significantly due to effective drug regimens. However, it still poses a challenge, particularly with drug-resistant strains or co-infection with HIV. It's crucial to consult a pulmonologist for precise information and treatment guidance.

TB, if diagnosed early and treated properly, has a very good recovery rate. A strong immune system definitely helps, so maintaining good fitness and diet during and after treatment is key. But the most important thing is sticking to the doctor's plan.
