Is it possible that primary complex recur for the third time to a child? my son was first diagnosed and treated with primary complex in 2010 then in 2011 he got primary complex again and then put into medication again but with a higher dose for 6months. Now he has cough for about a month now and he loss his appetite and even lose his weight, and i am worried that could it be possible that he may have primary complex again for the third time.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. The initial changes in the lungs after first exposure to tuberculous bacilli is known as Primary complex. If it is not properly treated or if the compliance is not good it may flare up again and again.
