Hi Doc, I was tested positive for pulmonary Tuberculosis in January 2011 this year in my lungs. I have completed my course of medicine in June. I have been taking homeopathy medicine from last 1 year 6 month for Allergic Rhinitus & Sinus. After I have discontinued it in October last year and after 2 months i was admitted in the hospital with fever, cold and chest scan showed TB positive. I have this allergy problem after i joined company where there is Air conditioner. I am under goind medication for cold and allergic rhinitus from last 4 months from a allopathy doctor. Doctor has precribed Montek LC and Flomist Nasal Spray course. The sinus is okay now but the cold and cough is still there. Now I feel weakness and joint pain when i go to office.

I can understand your problem but the coarse gor TB medicines is always too long.. minimum of 6 months. And for your joint pains I think you should check your uric acid level as pyrazinamide can cause joint pain by rising uric acid level. And you should also consult psychiatrist for your depression.
