Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having drug resistant tuberculosis.
In this form of tuberculosis, routine tb drugs like rifampicin and isoniazid are not sensitive and tb bacilli are resistant to them. So with standard anti tb drugs, patient is not improving.
You are facing the same problem. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Sputum culture for AFB (tb bacilli) and sensitivity report.
By this culture and sensitivity report, we can identify the effective drugs and start accordingly.
So consult pulmonologist and first rule out drug resistant tuberculosis in your case.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
