what happens after 6 months of tb treatment

After six months of TB treatment, most people will have completed their course of medication and will be tested to ensure they are clear of TB. If tests show that there is still TB bacteria in the body, additional treatment may be necessary. However, most people will receive the all-clear and their treatment will not be stopped until they are cured. It is important to continue taking medication until all TB germs are dead, even if you feel better and have no more symptoms of TB disease. After finishing treatment, some people may feel like looking at their life with new eyes and choose to tell others about their experiences to help encourage them through treatment or to raise awareness about the illness and its effects. There are also support groups available for people affected by TB, such as the TB Action Group (TBAG) in the UK. It is worth noting that some patients may experience side effects from the medication, such as severe weakness and a yellow tinge to the whites of the eyes.
