Hello brenda;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The treatment of TB is done in 2 parts the intensive therapy with 4 drugs for the first 3 months and then the remaining 6 months with 2 drugs that is rifampicin and INH .There can be relapse of TB if you get a fresh infection or if the treatment is not complete or if you have a MDR TB (multidrug resistant TB).Please consult your doctor and get investigated and then he will treat you accordingly.
Thanks
