What is the treatment of tuberculosis
The disease can be very effectively treated with the help of antibiotic therapy, rest and nourishing food. The key to the treatment is early detection of the disease.
The antibiotic therapy given should be continued for the stipulated period of time (6 months to 1 year), inspite of the waning of the symptoms. A clinically recovered tuberculosis case can still be a carrier and thus a relapse of the disease is likely if the antibiotic therapy is not followed the right way.
Let us now proceed over to the nutritional care of patients suffering from tuberculosis.
