Is Strenuous Physical Activity Advised After Starting Medication For TB?

Sir, I am male, 27 years of old, 186 cm height and 57 kg weight. I am suffering from TB, and now taking six months medicine. Just 16 days is over after starting taking medicine. I am feeling tiredness. As I have to join in one company on 18 th as a quality Engineer, I am in a bit doubt whether there will be any problem if I goto field work. or I have to take rest for few weaks more. But in that case I may loose my Job.. So I kindly request to you good advice.

Hello..welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Jigar(ID Specialist).

I understand your concern. Taking antitubercular drugs for long time is not that easy.

In my advice if its just tiredness then you should join your work.Going to work will improve both your mental and physical health.

Along with this you should take nutritious healthy diet especially with high protein content. This will help in fast recovery along with drugs.

I hope this will help you. Please give your valuable feedback.

Regards.
Dr Jigar.
