What should TB patients be aware of?

  What should TB patients pay attention to?  1, whether patients adhere to reasonable, regular medication is the key to success or failure of treatment. Irregular medication not only seriously affects the efficacy of tuberculosis, but also increases the number of patients with chronic rejection. Therefore, patients suffering from tuberculosis must go to a specialized tuberculosis hospital for consultation and treatment, and must follow the doctor’s orders and adhere to regular medication.  2, tuberculosis patients to ensure good rest and adequate sleep is the basic guarantee of disease recovery. Patients should ensure more than 8 hours of sleep a day and rest in bed. Under the guidance of the doctor, the recovering patient can arrange activities such as walking, qigong, taijiquan, jogging, and light physical labor, etc. Exercise should be done within the limits of ability. Develop good hygiene habits, bathe frequently to maintain skin hygiene, but the water temperature should not be too hot and each time should not be too long to avoid excessive physical exertion or hemoptysis. Clothes and bedding should be frequently dried, and rooms should be frequently ventilated.  3.Nutritional consumption of tuberculosis patients is large, so it is important to arrange the diet reasonably. Under the guidance of a doctor, consider giving a diet high in calories, protein and vitamins, and pay attention to the diversity of diet and its color, aroma, taste and shape. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, milk, eggs, seafood, vegetables and fruits can be consumed, but you should not eat too much stimulating food (such as too spicy and salty dishes) to avoid aggravating the cough. You should abstain from smoking and alcohol, because alcohol can aggravate the damage to the liver caused by drugs, and wine dilates blood vessels, so there is a possibility of hemoptysis after drinking alcohol in TB patients.
