Tuberculosis Treatment requires expert and timely handling
due to the nature of the disease. The first difficulty arises in the very
detection of the disease as it has the capability of lying in the dormant
stage. Secondly, although Tuberculosis or TB mostly attacks the lungs, it has
been known to attack other parts of the body as well. Some of the things, which
you need to take care of during Tuberculosis Treatment, have been discussed
here.
Promptness
The most important step is to show promptness in the visit
to the Tuberculosis Specialist. In every 10 cases of latent Tuberculosis, 1 becomes
active and 50% of such active cases become life-taking, if left untreated. A
prompt visit, to a Tuberculosis expert, will ensure that treatment is started
before the infection takes a deadly turn.
Long
Lasting Fever Needs Check-up
A fever is never a disease of its own but the body’s
reaction to some other ailment, which can be TB also. Fevers, especially those accompanied
by chills and sweating, fatigue and loss of appetite, have a high probability of
being cases of Tuberculosis.
Lookout
for side-effects
Although popular medicines, for TB, like Bedaquiline, Linezolid,
etc., are available, it is highly recommended against getting them without a consultation
by a TB Specialist. This
is because, although rare, chances of side-effects exist. These include Jaundice,
nausea, vomiting, etc. Only a proper examination, by a TB Specialist, can
ensure a prescription where the chances of these side-effects are minimized to
a negligible level.
The above are some of the things, to be taken care of, for a
quick and effective Tuberculosis Treatment.
The number of deaths, which TB still
claims, emphasizes that it is, by no means, wise to take symptoms of TB
lightly.
