A member asked:
When i start a mild ptb medication for 2 weeks and ill go check to xray again it will be see again a spot on xray or it possible to clear the result of my xray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks: It usually takes time to resolve and to see improvement on the Chest radiograph, in response to medication. A 6 week follow up chest image is recommended. Watch for side effects of the medication, fever, weight loss and worsening respiratory status.
