same problem, and im in my 8 days of treatment and was advised to undergo 2 xray. I am not having fever since from the start and not experiencing coughing. My cough happened just once in a while and no major side effect only a little bad taste. Does it mean I will be better after the treatment?
we have same case PTB right apex and 2 out of 3 xray results were normal findings.. I can no longer go to uae for a job.
this will take how long ?
Length of treatment varies. Some strains of TB are resistant to common antibiotics. You MUST complete the antibiotic regimen regardless. See your doctor for more information.
my xray result also is pnuemonitis vs ptb upper lobe what does it mean?what should i #do?pls help me
Hi JoyT,
Pneumonitis means inflammation. Your doctors will need to find WHAT is causing this. It could be from exposure to a chemical or other irritant. It is NOT PTB nor is it usually contagious.
how many months will cure?

On my medical in traveling abroad, they have seen PTB on my xray, i searched about its symptoms, but i dont feel any of the symptoms ive researched.. What will be my treatment?
Hi Guest, Not everyone displays symptoms, especially early on. Treatment is antibiotics.
Good luck.

Hi Guest,
Pulmonary Tuberculosis - PTB. It's an infection in your lungs. You need treatment with antibiotics. See your doctor for more information.
