How Long Does Tuberculosis Treatment Last?
I am a student, Age-21yrs, Height-180cms, Weight- 63kg.
I am suffering from tuberculosis and taking medicines for approx. 2 months, Doctors prescribed me a course of 6 months and asked me to have a visit after 2 months, but due to my tight study schedule i am unable to leave for CMC, Vellore, so can I consult a physcian at my place of residence in Amritsar?
Will there be any consequences to meet a different doctor?
also that what kind of specialist doctor should i Visit and if u can name one?
