HiXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query to this forum,
Your son is suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis, and he completed course, I presume you mean 6 months.
The available details there must be some abnormality in X XXXXXXX that is why doctor want to keep possibility of MDR (Multi drug Resistant) Tuberculosis.
I want to know if he is still coughing out blood after completing course of medicines.
He has gained weight or not after treatment?
Is there any cough or fever is still persisting.
Was he very regular in taking ant tubercular treatment as irregular treatment is important cause of failure to cure?
If he is producing sputum then it should be tested for AFB (TB Bacteria) and culture should be done to know sensitivity of drugs.
You can upload reports and treatment prescription so that I can analyze the reports.
Please provide above details, so that I can clarify better.
Regards.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.

Hi,
Thanks for input,
If there are no symptoms like fever, cough, and weight increased by almost 9 kg.
These signs indicate successful treatment
Usually for lungs Tuberculosis 6 to 8 month’s therapy is sufficient unless drug resistance is suspected and treatment failure is there.
Drug resistance is suspected as per your details after last x XXXXXXX then further treatment may be required.
If you have x XXXXXXX and reports you can upload them so that I can review them.
Regarding stopping anti Tubercular therapy you will need to discuss with treating doctor.
Hope this helps.
