A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info is needed: What type of TB treatment are you referring to? Is the person getting treatment because he/she had a positive screening TB test ( that is, not sick from the TB bacteria) or is the person having active TB infection (that is, sick from TB - cough, fever etc..). Also where is the TB infection? lungs, blood, stomach/intestine etc. --> Your answer to the above questions will help us assist you better
