How long after tuberculosis treatment is no longer fatigued

Pulmonary tuberculosis patients will gradually resolve fatigue symptoms within 1-2 weeks after standardized anti-tuberculosis drug treatment. If the medication is not standardized or the condition is severe, it may take about 3 months to recover.

1. The medication is standardized and the condition is mild

For young patients who are newly infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and have a primary lesion in the lungs, the onset is usually acute, with symptoms such as low-grade fever, cough, and sputum production, accompanied by signs of malaise. At this time, timely and standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment, such as the use of rifampicin capsules, isoniazid tablets and other drugs to control the development of the disease according to the doctor's instructions, generally within 1-2 weeks the patient's discomfort will be significantly reduced or disappeared.

2. Patients with non-standard medication or serious conditions

Some tuberculosis patients have low autoimmunity and do not actively cooperate with doctors to take anti-tuberculosis drugs, resulting in prolonged disease and even drug-resistant tuberculosis. Such patients may not only have significant symptoms of fever, night sweats, weight loss, and loss of appetite, but may also be accompanied by chest pain and hemoptysis. In this case, even after standard anti-tuberculosis treatment, it will take about 3 months for the body to return to a normal state.

It is recommended that patients with pulmonary tuberculosis must actively cooperate with doctors to carry out standardized treatment, and avoid stopping or reducing the amount of drugs without permission, so as not to affect the prognosis of the disease. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to strengthening nutritional supplements and eating more protein-rich foods, such as eggs and milk, which will help strengthen physical fitness and promote the condition to improve as soon as possible.
