Is There Any Chance Of Others Getting Infected At Home?
Hello Doc,
My brother has been detected with miliari TB. The doc has prescribed Tab Combunex 800/300 once a day, Tab Pyzina 750 one and half a day, Tab levoflox 750 once a day and Tab Wysolone 20 once a day. All to be taken after meal. I wanted to know how much time is it going to take him to get cured completely? What are the side effects of the medicines? He is not admitted so how much is the chance of others getting infected at home?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This would require treatment for atleast 9-12 months.
If it is miliary we should also find out other organs affected by TB.
If he is an open case chances of getting infection from him are there.
Share his Chest xray And All reports with me.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
