I'm getting really concerned about my health. Last August, after losing a lot of weight, I tested positive for TB Gold. I tried Ayurvedic treatment and it seemed to help because by 2021 my results were negative. But now, I'm losing weight again and my tests are showing positive for tuberculosis. An ultrasound even showed Kochs tuberculosis. I'm really worried and wondering what medicines I could take for this. Any advice?
