Tb is a deadly disease, or can survive and recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treat TB: Tb is a treatable disease. You must take the antibiotic medicines exactly as directed and finish them all. Usually you need to take 2 or 3 medicines at the same time. Sometimes the TB is drug resistant and so may be more difficult to treat. This is why it's most important to take all the medicine and finish it so the bacteria cannot develop resistance to the antibiotic. If resistant can be fatal.
