Hello..
Well tb is completely a curable disease..but then by the way you tell it seems like its already progressed to complications ..I suggest you to consult a pulmonologist as you will require regular Check uod and also start building home...thank you

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
First of all, happy diwali and a happy new year.
TB can be cured with proper treatment and full course. But tge lung fuctions will be compromised. Even after the TB has been completely eradicated, lung damage which has occurred wont reverse to normal.
Get admitted and start the treatment on a urgent basis.
Best regards.
