I'm kind of worried because I finished my TB treatment a year ago, but now I'm experiencing chest pain, although I don't have a cough or anything like that. I'm just wondering, is it possible that the TB could be back even though my reports aren't showing any signs of it?

I'm a 25-year-old NEET PG student, just found out I have MDR TB about three months ago. Some symptoms were mild, but they've got me on this long-term treatment instead of a shorter regimen, they said it's better. So far, I haven't had any problems, it's just routine meds and all. My diet's regular and alright. But now, there's some slight discoloration from the Clofazamine that's starting to show, and it's kind of annoying. Is there a way to tone it down? Also, can this 18-month treatment fully cure MDR TB? My CXR is showing normal, with just a small organized effusion that's under 10cc on the lateral wallhoping it vanishes. What are the chances of a relapse, and any tips to prevent that from happening? This is really on my mind and it's messing with my studies.

donot worry the medicines which you are taking will cure the disease. If you try boosting you immunity by eating nutritious diet it will prevent relapse. drink lot amount of water
