Im afraid of my tuberculosis
I had a tuberculosis since last year. The findings said it was Kosch's infection. Correct me if Im wrong. It was said that it is minimal ptb. My parents believe that it is in our heredity. They tested my phlegm and it was negative, and then the health official in our town said that I should take a medication for 6 months, and I only took my medication for 4 months. I know the consequence of not finishing the medication but I certainly stopped for some reason.

Please complete the entire course. Get tested your phlegm for any acid fast bacilli and also a chest X-RAY.. stopping the treatment in between won't serve for any cause and you have to start again from the beginning. It may also lead to resistance. Go stick to the treatment.. Visit your nearest RNTCP centre..
