HELLO
HAPPY TO HELP YOU
FIRST OF ALL YOUR SON SHOULD GO FOR SPUTUM EXAMINATION THAT IS A TEST FOR TB WITH TB..THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR SON TO THE DOCTOR FOR FURTHER TREATMENT ACCORDINGLY..BECAUSE IF TB HAS BEEN TREATED COMPLETELY IT WOULD NOT HAVE REACHED THE LUNGS...I MEAN MAY BE TREATMENT HE WAS PROVIDED EARLIER WAS NOT COMPLETE OR SUFFICIENT.. ALSO CONSULT DISTRICT TUBERCULOSIS OFFICER FOR COMPLETE REGIMEN OF TB..
THANK YOU
HOPE IT HELPS
