A member asked:
Hi there in the case where a person has been diagnosed with tb and has been on treatment for 1 week, is it normal for them to cough up blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lengthy treatment: The treatment will take months, and it is important to not miss doses of the medication. There may be bleeding associated with pulmonary TB. A follow up appointment will be scheduled by his physician.
