Hi doc, I am a 34year old.Was diagnosed with TB two months earlier and was taking combination of 3medicines R-cinex cap,PZA Ciba 750,PZA Ciba 500 &Combutol 800 for 2 months. Right now I am on R-cinex for the next 7 months. Combutol & PZA have been discontinued as advised by the doc on the onset of the treatment. From a couple of days have noticed the sputum has returned.More recurrent in the morning hours and from 2days have also noticed a little droplet of blood sometimes in the sputum. Want to know has the TB strain recurred?I am out of the country; should I restart the medicines in this case?
Hello! I can understand your concern.  You are on the right treatment for your TB.  TB infection needs treatment for at least 6 months to get healed.  Until then, it's quite possible to have cough and at times blood tinged sputum. You can take tab. Transgenic acid which helps you reduce the bleed.  I would suggest you get a Chest x-ray and sputum tested for TB bacilli.  Also check how far your appetite and weight have improved since you began taking anti - TB medications.  These will help to understand how well your disease is improving. Hope my reply helps. Do Chat Doctor.
