Hi. I can understand your concern.
If you are having pulmonary TB and have not taken treatment for TB before, then you will require 6 months of anti-TB medicines. Along with that you will require nutritional supplements. If taken regularly your TB will be cured. If your sputum is positive for TB even after 3 months of TB treatment then you need a detailed evaluation and also avoid any contact with people till your sputum is negative for TB bacilli.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
