I've finished a nine-month treatment for TB. Is there a chance it might come back? What steps can I take to prevent it from happening again? Would love your advice.

View allI'm checking my oxymeter, and it's showing a reading of 97. I'm a bit worried though because I read somewhere that oxymeters also pick up carboxyhemoglobin, so the real oxygen level might actually be below 90, maybe even 80. I've been feeling restless and anxious about this. I have some breathing issues, like I get tired when just eating or talking. Plus, when I wake up, I can really feel the air passing through my nose and throat, but my throat feels swollen. I'm on an Ayurvedic treatment for acidity for the past two months since I tried allopathy for one and a half months before, but it didn't work, and the issue keeps coming back. I also experience body pain and weakness. I had a chest X-ray, CBC, sugar test, abdomen sonography, and kidney function test about 15-20 days ago, and everything was normal. So, is it alright to rely on the oxymeter reading in my situation?
yes if its working properly

I've been noticing that every time I drink hot tea, I end up coughing a lot. It's been happening for quite a while now. Also, my wife was recently diagnosed with a TB gold infection that's positive. I'm pretty worried and wondering what could possibly be going on here. Could this all be related somehow? What should we do?
Kindly, go for TB screening
