Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Yes, intestinal TB is completely curable if the prescribed medications are taken for 6-8 months period.
I presume a colonoscopy was done and the intestinal TB was confirmed by biopsy and histopathological examination.
Let him continue the medications as per the doctor's advice.
Regards.
