<s>[INST] Hello Doctor, I am S V reddy. I am 24 y old and 63 kg weight. I am suffering from dry cough. I consulted doctor and he told me I am affected with pneumonia and he is suspecting TB also.He prescribed the following medicine:1.Forecox 2.Proloc-DSR 3.Monlevo 4.Macpod CV 200 5.Vitamins with Amino acids and minerals(Fourtis).I have used for 4 days and still i am suffering. Am i using right course?please advise. [/INST] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are not counselled properly. See, tuberculosis is chronic lung infection. Treatment for tuberculosis lasts for at least 6-8 months. So you can not expect clinical improvement (decrease cough) in just 4 days of treatment. Usually, clinical improvement starts after 1 month of anti-tubercular treatment. So in my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and discuss tuberculosis, its treatment, improvement duration etc. With proper treatment of 6-8 months, tuberculosis will definitely be treated. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. </s>
