Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first.
Because treatment of tuberculosis is for atleast 6 months. Not for 2 weeks.
And recovery in tuberculosis is slow as treatment duration is for 6 months.
You can expect recovery after 1 month of appropriate treatment.
So I advice you to first confirm properly that you are having tuberculosis and you are receiving correct drugs in proper dose.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Better to get done Sputum AFB culture and sensitivity to rule out drug resistant TB in your case.
So consult pulmonologist and start appropriate treatment.
