It will take atleast 3 months to be negative . No need to have ATT but you need to build your immunity by eating balance diet and avoiding further exposure

Hi ATT  duration depends   on which type  of  TB it is . So  First  need  to  know  which tubercusis ? Pulmonary  or  extra pulmonary Second  Is  this  your  first  time  or  recurrence? Why  8  months? Have  your  doctor  examined  you  before  stopping the  treatment.? Consult  your  doctor  before  stopping  the  AKT Do  not  stop it  yourself.
