Hello there. I can understand your concern. Your body weight would have decreased due to tuberculosis. It will improve gradually with a good diet. Have a high protein diet and have a lot of fruits and vegetables. Consult a endocrinologist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
