Hi,
As you completed full course of tuberculosis you problem of having cold and coughing might be due to seasonal or allergic cough.
By this time your tuberculosis might have cured.
Gaining weight is advisable during this type of wasting disease.
Please see that you are not on any steroid therapy as steroid can increase your weight.
Avoid cold drinks, fried and junk food.
Avoid dust and dumpy atmosphere.
Ok and take care.
Ok and take care.
