Hi. I can understand your concern.
Any organ can involve with TB.Pulmonary TB usually presents with chronic cough more than 2 weeks duration, loss of appetite, loss of weight, evening fever.
If you are having pulmonary TB and have not taken treatment for TB before, then you will require 6 months of anti-TB medicines. Along with that you will require nutritional supplements. If taken regularly your TB will be cured.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
