Tuberculosis pleurisy can be recovered through timely and standardized drug treatment and surgery.
1. Drug treatment: commonly used drugs include anti-tuberculosis drugs, hormone drugs, anti-infective drugs, expectorant and cough medicines.
(1) Anti-tuberculosis drugs: for example, isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, etc. They are used to kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis, prevent the production of drug-resistant bacteria, and reduce the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(2) Hormonal drugs: for example, methylprednisolone, prednisone, etc., for patients with acute tuberculous exudative pleurisy, used to inhibit the occurrence and development of the body’s allergic reaction.
(3) Anti-infective drugs: for example, levofloxacin, linezolid, etc., for the treatment of concurrent bacterial infections.
(4) Expectorant and cough medicines: for example, bromhexine, aminoglutethimide, etc., used to relieve coughing and sputum symptoms and promote the discharge of sputum.
2. Surgical treatment: mainly refers to the puncture and aspiration of the thoracic cavity or closed drainage of the thoracic cavity, which improves the respiratory function of the patient by withdrawing and draining the pleural effusion, and prevents the sedimentation of fibrin and thickening of the pleura.
If the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy is confirmed, it is recommended to consult the doctor in time and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance, so as not to lead to the aggravation of the disease.
