Question

I had tuberculosis back in April 2016 and took medication for 9 months, including Streptomycin 1gm, Combutol 800, and Rcin 450, until February 15. Now I've got a bit of a cough and some pain again. Do you think it might be TB again? And how likely is it to be MDR-TB if it is? I'm really worried about this.

Question

I'm currently on my sixth month of TB treatment, but I've been having this cough for about 10-15 days now. I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing serious, just continued with my usual meds like Rcinex. He also gave me something for allergies like Allegra and some antibiotics. But I saw on my X-ray report from the radiologist that it says "bronchiovascular marking is prominent in bilateral lung field" and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this?

Question
