How to treat tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is mainly a respiratory infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and the treatment methods include drug treatment and surgical treatment.

1. Drug therapy. Rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and other chemicals are mainly used for treatment, which can effectively kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the body. If there is hemoptysis during the treatment, drugs such as aminobenzoic acid tablets and aminocaproic acid tablets should be added under the guidance of a doctor when necessary to stop bleeding.

2. Surgical treatment. Patients with surgical indications such as cheese foci, tuberculous empyema, multidrug-resistant thick-walled cavities, or patients with poor results after reasonable chemotherapy can be treated surgically.

Because the severity of each person's illness is different, the specific treatment plan needs to be analyzed by the attending doctor. After reasonable treatment in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, most patients have a good prognosis and some can be cured. If the patient is not given reasonable treatment in time, it can deteriorate into disseminated disease, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
