I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?

When might I start gaining weight again during my TB treatment? I've lost about 15 kg since starting the medication and it's been almost 29 days now. I'm really worried. Will I be able to gain the weight back or is this going to be a permanent thing?

I'm really worried about my lungs as I've been a smoker, but I quit. I haven't had breathing issues so far, but I'm concerned they might pop up in the future. I do yoga and breathing exercises regularlycan those help repair my damaged cilia, or should I see a pulmonologist? Are there any pre-treatments available? I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.

Do regular exercises you will be fine
