Treatment for Tuberculosis
I want to know in general what does an ATT look like.
For instance, if the doctor says the treatment will last for 6 months, what all different activities will happen during these 6 months?
Like, my friend on ATT for about 1 month now has gone through a blood test after first 15 days of dosage and then has been asked to consult after 8 weeks of dosage.
