Hi
Thanks for contacting HCM
There is Mainly Two type of TB-! Pulmonary and 2 Extrapulmonary.
For non medico person Pulmonary is originated from lungs and Cough with expectoration is most common symptom .
Treatment Protocol is almost fixed in worldwide. Traetment For first time any type of above mentioned TB is First Line drug for six month minimum ( 2 monts of Intensive Period of treatment and Four Months of Continuation Phase of treatment. If you Suffering from Pulmonary then basic investigation is AFB for Sputum in grading. If Sputum is Positive even after 2 months of treatment then go for Gene Expert test of Sputum ( Effectiveness of First line drug in your body ). If it Negative then Go for next 4 months of treatment.
If gene expert Resistant to first line drugs then Plan of treatment will be different.
Consider to gain weight.
Now come the point gym then avoid gym. and consider for high protein diet.
boiled EGG , Paneer ,Two glass milk are good option to gain weight .
Protien Powder and soya protien powder are available in Chemist shop , Use these supliments.
Thanks
