Blood In Cough. History Of Having Treatment And Cured TB. Diagnosed Due To Old Scars. Suggest
Hello doctor
I had tuberclosis 2 years back, after some time it was fine after treatment.
but after 2 years suddenly i found blood coming in cough and it is continued since last few days. Doctor says it is due to old scars and it can not be cured by medicines. I am feeling very weak and helpless. Could you please suggest.

Hi
Hope you have taken Anti tuberculous treatment for 9 months.
Blood in the cough has to be evaluated.
You should consult Chest physician and get examined.
It is better to send sputum for Acid fast bacilli of TB.
IF TB is positive,you have to take another group of drugs.
Wish you speedy recovery
Regards
