What if the symptoms of tuberculosis don’t go away after two months of medication?

If the symptoms of tuberculosis have not disappeared after two months of taking medication, you should go to the hospital for regular checkups and continue to take the medication regularly after evaluating the effect. In the pre-treatment period, TB patients should go to the hospital at least once a month for a review of sputum levels, changes in lung lesions and other indicators to assess the changes in the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment. For patients with simple pulmonary tuberculosis, without drug resistance or tuberculosis in other parts of the body, the general treatment cycle is 6 months. Do not be too anxious if the symptoms do not disappear in two months after taking the medication, and if the results of the review show that the effect of the treatment can be achieved (i.e., improvement of the lung signs, negative sputum levels, and improvement of the lung lesions, etc.), then the patient can continue to take the medication regularly and undergo the review on a regular basis. If the results show that the therapeutic effect is poor, or even have a tendency to aggravate, the feasibility of drug sensitivity test examination, to determine whether there is drug resistance, a clear diagnosis based on the results of drug sensitivity and clinical diagnosis and treatment norms, if necessary, to adjust the drug regimen.
