How Can Immunity Be Improved?

Hello doctor, I was detected of lung TB 4 months back. I was put on RCINEX EZ for the first 2 motnhs of treatment, then on RCINEX E for next 2 motnhs. NOw my doctor has changed the medicine into RCINEX alongwith a 20mg dose of BENEDON 40. I had a chest XRay in the beginning of treatment and another after two months. The infection had shown significant improvement after 2 motnhs of medication. However, just last week I had a severe cold with lots of sneezing and coughing. Is it normal to have cough even though I am on medication? Can you guide me towards a better diet that can help me improve my immunity? Regards Garima, India

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



T.B. being a debilitating disease it is a must that treatment should be accompanied with healthy diet to improve stamina &immunity incurred following treatment too. You should try to have balanced diet with high proteins (milk,pulses,lentils ,egges & non veg preparations) vitamins (specially B. complex, vitamin C, A&D) for increased immunity /good iron &other mineral supplement for good hemoglobin percentage & stamina along with good carbohydrates for energy provision. A light exercise in fresh air would help good appetite ,digestion & health as such.
