Hello
As you mentioned that your uncle operated for lung tuberculosis . There is pain , still you want treatment for TB .
The treatment for tuberculosis depend on many things as result of sputum specimen , report of blood like CBC , ESR ( if more than 100 mm of first hour ) , Montoux's test.
So I want to tell you that first of all consult a "chest & tuberculosis " SPECIALIST and take full treatment as advised by your doctor and take treatment till your doctor recommend . Don't stop in between as it may produces MDRTB .
Good luck.
