Hi, My wife is being diagnosed with TB and doctor advised to take AKT4 medicine. whenever she cough her left ribs gets pain. Whether we need to consult our doctor or body will take time to adjust with medicine ?. its been 4 days she started with AKT4 medicine.
Hi, I understand your concern.  The pain while coughing in TB is due to involved lung & surrounding tissues. Which are infected, inflamed & damaged because of the bacteria.  It's good that she has started with anti TB antibiotic kit AKT4. Its only for 4 days. While to get some relief from symptoms at least 10-15 days are needed. Please let her continue the medicine regularly. Addition of high protein diet along with multivitamins is desired for good recovery.  Thanks.
