Patient's question:
What symptoms does tuberculosis have? There are none. Hepatitis B is already in the stage of. I heard that the medication harms the liver, and the doctor said it's very difficult to treat. Moreover, I don't know whether it's better to go to the hospital or the health and disease prevention center. The doctor at the health and disease prevention center told me not to take the medicine prescribed by the hospital doctor, but isn't the rescue medicine almost the same? I don't know which one is more effective.Doctor's answer:
If it is active pulmonary tuberculosis (with obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms, accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, etc., accompanied or not accompanied by positive sputum smear), it requires active anti-tuberculosis treatment.1. It is recommended to undergo tests such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate and chest X-ray. If active pulmonary tuberculosis is detected, it is necessary to follow the principles of early, combined, sufficient, regular, and full-course anti-tuberculosis treatment. If it is chronic tuberculosis, treatment is not required.
2. Most cases of hepatitis B with a large "three positive" pattern are healthy carriers of hepatitis B. If liver function is normal, treatment is generally not needed, nor does it interfere with anti-tuberculosis treatment.
