Hi, I have a cough for tow month? And tested result for SPUTUM AFB for 3 days. The result come Not seen. But CXR revealed that I have some patchy in Right Lung. The doctor says, it is TB. He gave me Akwit-4 and some vitamin for treatment. Please, answer me that how many days does I need for this treatment and it is dangerous. I have to finish my master degree in computer studies in USA. I am afraid that my medicine check up will cancel this.Please let me know the time and it is really PTB.
Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor.tubercular bacteria is an intracellular organism require long time to cure.minimum duration of treatment is 6 months but can increased up to 1 year depend upon your test result during subsequent month. I suggest you to take medicine regularly without any break otherwise it will further increase duration of treatment. Things goes in your favor is in your case bacteria not found on smear microscopy suggest disease is not extensive so if you take treatment regularly will get cure early. Hope you are satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.
