Hello doctor, I am having pulmonary TB and this is the third month since taking medicine. I had blood in sputum few times and sputum test showed negative but based on CT scan, the doctor suspected pulmonary TB. I was recommended medicine for six months. I am feeling better after taking medicine and no more cough or blood in sputum. There is a marriage plan in the family but I have doubts about recovering from this disease. These are some queries in this regard. Whether any other treatments are required after completing six months of medicine? If yes, mention details. What is the chance of transmitting TB to partner after completion of medicine? How long one should wait for marriage after completion of TB medicine? What kind of risks a TB patient carries even after completion of medicine? Whether I am still infectious to others after taking medicine?
Hi, Welcome to icliniq. com. I would need to know that have you got a repeat sputum test or chest X-ray after the treatment has started. I need to see that before I could answer your questions.
