I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

View allI've been diagnosed with tuberculosis and need osteochondral surgery can I still go ahead with it? What's the usual process for this kind of surgery and are there any risks because of the TB?
It is generally not recommended to undergo elective osteochondral surgery while actively battling tuberculosis (TB). TB can reactivate or disseminate during and after surgery, and it can also complicate the healing process. It's crucial to defer the osteochondral surgery until the TB has been thoroughly treated and stabilized

I'm really worried about my mother. She's been diagnosed with lymph nodes TB after a biopsy, and we saw a specialist at a private ENT hospital. They've prescribed a bunch of medications like AKuriT4, which includes Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol hydrochloride, along with Rablist DSR capsules, Livogen captabs, and Lyorech capsules. I'm just unsure where to start her treatmentshould we stick with the private hospital or go to a DOTS center? Are there any risks associated with either option? I just want to make sure I'm making the best choice for her care.
