What Are The Symptoms After TB Treatment?

Hi, I have completed my Tb treatment before a week and Now i have mild pain in the right lung. Chest x ray shows that, lung lymph node is swellen. I consulted with the doctor and he said that calcium is deposited on the damaged part of the lumph node. Can you please tell me if this symptom will be for life time ? Currently i have mild fever and weakness has started from the last two days. It is normal symptom after TB treatment ? Please advise.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Tuberculosis lesions once heal, produce scar lesion. Scar lesion can be fibrotic or calcified. So calcification in scar suggest old healed, non active lesions.
And these lesions will remain as it is throughout the life.
Calcified scar lesion does not give symptoms like fever and weakness.
So for ypur fever and weakness, I advice you to consult doctor and get done blood investigation to rule out infection other than tuberculosis.
So these symptoms are not normal after tb treatment. They need investigations to search cause.
I find this answer helpful
