Hi. welcome to HCM

I am Dr Jigar( ID specialist). I understand your concern and will give advice accordingly.

Looking at your profile i agree that the treatment given is correct.

As it is a chronic inflammatory disease and there is no specific treatment available as of now which cures this disease, no one can claim that this can cured completely.

You need to do follow up with your doctor at regular interval even if your symptoms subsides as in can relapse, get infected & rarely lead to malignancy.

I wish your rapid recovery and will help you further if needed.
