Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No, this is not right approach. Tuberculoma of lung is active tuberculosis of lung. So get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy to diagnose active infection. Yoi may need full course of anti tubercular drugs. Usual course is 6-8 months. Don't worry, you will be alright after 8 months course. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
