Does High Levels Of Fluid Volume Cause TB?

Hi,

I am suffering with TB, and I am taking the medicine from last 20days. Dr suggested me to go for a Chest x-Ray and Ultrasound.

In untrasound test they mentioned the fuild Volume is 300-400ml..

I just want to know how long the medicine will take time to recover me. Is this amount of fluid is really indicated the High TB?

TB is treated for a minimum of six months and in some resistant cases for nine months. during this time focus on maintaining your health and you will be cured eventually. tb is not caused by high fluid volume but its caused by a bacteria that spreads through air droplets, hence tb patients are advised to cover their mouth to protect others from getting infected
