Treatment for pleural TB will usually be for 6 to 9 months in some patients. You will start to see improvement in first 2 to 3 months. Take the tablets regularly without missing any doses. I can understand it must be difficult for you. But dont give up. It is a treatable infection.
Next Steps
Please eat protein rich food. Ensure you eat boiled egg whites, paneer, soya, sprouts in your everyday diet.
