Did I got MDR TB

2016-09-17 17:40:41
I m now suffering from TB and I am now taking treatment from 2 months. I show good result n had no cough anymore and even i started to play football again. But from 1 week i m slightly coughing again. I didnt missed any drug too n i took them in time. Now m scared thinking that if the bacteria turned resistant. Should i assume that i have now MDR TB?

Hi.... Inadequate treatment will lead to MDR TB...... If patients are not cured, and their disease becomes resistant, they then must take second-line drugs. These drugs are administered when first-line drugs fail. Treatment for MDR-TB is commonly administered for 2 years or longer and involves daily injections for six months. .....
