Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. Spinal TB is also treated by same oral medication as Pulmonary TB. Visit your local doctor for treatment schedule.

Successful treatment outcome of any TB depends on drug compliance and healthy protein-rich diet. Your has to follow treatment schedule meticulously. Symptoms of TB starts declining after some days of starting the treatment. One should not stop taking medications after it. Whole course of 6 months treatment should be completed. No extra precautions are needed.

Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
