Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, melatonin never cause such a problem. Melatonin is the rhythm hormone. It will maintain and optimize biological rhythm. It has no role in TB or any other symptoms. TB is caused by TB bacilli. It is purely a bacilli infection, so it will never cause any problem. You can give proper treatment to your friend of TB.TB can be cured with good therapy of anti-tubercular Chat Doctor.  Please advice protein rich food and respiratory exercise this will help clear TB infections. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
