Recovery from TB

2023-08-04 12:08:46
I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia with Tuberculosis since January '23. I have completed 6 months medicines courses for treatment of Tuberculosis as prescribed by doctor . Now I have been completely cured as declared by doctor based on last chest x ray showed very good resolution and other routine blood test showed all parameters are controlled. Now doctor said no restrictions is there and can lead normal life . May I have one question is that smoking is directly related for cause of TB. Though I am not chain smoker, but if I take one cigarette daily will be serious issues? . Because completely  quiting of smoking will create mental trauma that I realized . Please clear  the issues.

Yes, though smoking is not directly related to TB, it increases risk for infection, delays recovery moreover prone for recurrence. 100 cigarettes in a lifetime is enough to have changes in lungs. Take online consultation for further information and management
