Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my mother is 64 she fell down about more than a year ago from stairs. she didn't feel a pain that time so she didn't noticed. after short while she start to get fewer, back pain and heart burn. about 4 motnhs ago she went to see a bone doctor doctor diagnose her SCI and told her complete bed rest. She also diagnose TB. I wonder is there any treatment so she get well faster?
I appreciate your concern for your beloved mother. Incomplete data like exact diagnosis is not mentioned clearly.
Assuming it to be the tuberculosis of the spine (lower back bones), she must take a course of a combination of antibiotics for at least 12 months as follows:
Only two drugs (INH & Rifampicin) to be taken orally along with Vitamin B6.
This regimen is found to be very effective in the treatment of TB involving the backbone (spine). Along with medications she must a high protein diet along with fruits, etc.
Hope to have answered your query.
