Teeth discoloration
I'm undergoing treatment of Tuberculosis from last 1 month. I have noticed that my tongue and teeth starts discolouration from last 5 days. They have turned brown in colour.
I want to know Is it because of the antibiotics of TB or do I need to visit dentist for treatment?
If it's because of the medications ,then does it get back to normal on its own ??
Please reply 🙏

Yes, medication for tuberculosis may cause staining/ discoloration of teeth.
You may visit a dentist after completing your course of medication and recovering from TB.
