What Are the Common TB Symptoms, and How Can Tuberculosis Be Diagnosed Early? - #14449
I have recently been learning about tuberculosis (TB) and want to understand its early symptoms, how it spreads, and what treatment options are available. Some people say that TB can remain dormant in the body for years, but I want to know what signs indicate active infection and when medical attention is required. TB is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but sometimes spreading to other parts of the body. Common TB symptoms include chronic cough lasting more than three weeks, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, fever, fatigue, and chest pain. Many doctors recommend a TB skin test, chest X-ray, and sputum test for diagnosis. Treatment typically involves a long course of antibiotics, but some people explore herbal remedies and Ayurvedic support for immunity. However, I want to know whether lifestyle and diet changes can help prevent TB in high-risk individuals. For those who have had TB or know someone who did, what symptoms appeared first? How effective was the treatment, and how long did recovery take? Would love insights into early detection, prevention, and the best ways to support TB recovery.
