  3. Tuberculosis in neck. For full cure?

Tuberculosis in neck

2018-06-18 15:22:59
Hi, I am suffering from tuberculosis since 3 months. My neck was swollen. After all testing my doctor suggested me some medicines. But after eating for almost 1 month, there was no change. Then my doctor suggested 1 injection named Ambistryn S 0.75g daily for 1 month. But due to some reasons, there was a gap of 2 days in between without the injection. Is there any problem if there is a gap? Please suggest. And how much time it generally takes for full cure?

Try and avoid having gaps during the treatment as it will reduce the effectiveness of the medication. You can continue with the medications as before, Treatment time will depend upon the effectiveness of the medication and changes from person to person, so giving a timeline is difficult.
