When did they find a cure for tb?
My uncle recently got diagnosed with TB and it's quite serious. I was talking to my father and he mentioned that earlier there wasn't a proper treatment. I'm curious, when exactly did they find a cure for TB?

I was just reading about this! The first effective drug, streptomycin, was discovered in 1943. But the real 'cure' came with multi-drug therapy in the 1950s, making it reliably treatable. It's fascinating how science developed these solutions.
It's so important that TB became curable, knowing the history of how many people suffered before. The real breakthroughs for a cure, with effective antibiotics, started coming in the 1940s and 50s. It must have been such a relief to finally have proper treatment options.
They started finding effective cures for TB with antibiotics like streptomycin in the 1940s, and then combination therapies in the 1950s really made a difference. It's a long process, but it works if you stick to it. Similar to managing PCOS, consistency is key, but never oversimplify it.
My doctor explained that the true cure for TB, meaning effective and sustained treatment, came with the development of multiple anti-TB drugs. The discovery of streptomycin in 1943 was a major first step, followed by isoniazid and rifampicin, allowing for successful multi-drug regimens by the 1950s.
Jaw hurts and ear pain can occur due to TMJ disorders, dental infections, teeth grinding, or ear problems...
Many of us remember getting mouth ulcers as kids. They appeared so often we thought they were normal, yet...
Haan na, TB ka ilaaj toh 1940s-50s ke time mein mila tha jab medicines aayi thi. Usse pehle toh bahut mushkil hota tha. Ab toh bas pura course karna hota hai, ho na? Bahut badi baat hai yeh.
