Tuberculosis (TB) Care

Diagnosis, Treatment & Long-Term Management

Tuberculosis (TB) is a lung infection that requires timely diagnosis and complete treatment. When managed properly, TB is fully curable. Dr. Rounak Singhai provides structured TB care with focus on early detection, correct medication, and continuous follow-up.

Understanding TB & Diagnosis

Tuberculosis mainly affects the lungs and spreads through the air. Symptoms often develop gradually and may be overlooked in early stages.

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent cough for more than 2–3 weeks

  • Fever, especially in the evening

  • Weight loss and weakness

  • Night sweats

  • Blood in cough in some cases

Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation and required investigations such as chest imaging and laboratory tests. Reports are explained clearly so patients understand the condition and treatment plan.

Treatment, Drug Compliance & Recovery

TB treatment requires regular medication over several months. Stopping medicines early or skipping doses can lead to treatment failure or drug resistance.

Treatment focuses on:

  • Correct anti-TB medication regimen

  • Monitoring response to treatment

  • Managing side effects

  • Ensuring strict drug compliance

  • Regular follow-ups until completion

With proper adherence, most patients recover fully and return to normal life.
