I'm feeling really worried and confused right now. My wife, who's a doctor, talked to a pulmonologist who checked my scan report and said it's definitely TB, but I'm having a hard time accepting this. I live a healthy lifestyle, don't smoke or drink, so I'm doubtful if it's true. I haven't done the CBNAAT or culture test again yet, and I'm really unsure about jumping into treatment right away. Do you think I should get another doctor's opinion first before starting TB treatment?
Yes,patient is advised ATT for 6 months .Avoid smoking and alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.
