Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. TB treatment is somewhat longer than usual. Its effect also starts late. It will be two or three months than after its effect will be visible. Many a times TB bacilli may be resistant one. In such a case Inexpert test from the swelling aspirate is necessary. This will guide us about the possible resistant pattern. Please do not discontinue the treatment as discontinued treatment in tuberculosis can create UN necessary resistance in the tuberculosis bacilli which makes it even more dangerous bacilli. Please maintain good hygiene, take high protein rich diet, and daily exercise. As this can resolve the infection rapidly as equally with antibiotics. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
