Hello Rakesh Ji,

Thank you for reaching out! Currently, we do not have a direct tie-up with government hospitals, including Safdarjung Hospital, so we’re unable to book appointments there. We recommend reaching out to the hospital directly to schedule an appointment with a radiation oncologist. If you need assistance finding specialists in private hospitals, please contact us for guidance.

Hello Nitin Ji,

I understand your concerns, and I’m glad you’re actively seeking information to manage your health. Tuberculosis (TB) can sometimes leave behind scar tissue in the lungs, which may cause lingering symptoms like a cough or mild respiratory issues even after the infection is treated. However, each person’s recovery can vary, and symptoms like prolonged cough and weight loss can be concerning and warrant further evaluation.

Points to Consider:

1. Duration of Symptoms: If the cough, weight loss, or other symptoms have persisted for a long time, it’s essential to rule out any active infection, other lung conditions, or complications from TB.

2. Scar Tissue: Lung scarring from TB can be permanent in some cases, but often, symptoms improve over time. If the scar tissue is minimal, symptoms might resolve on their own. In more extensive cases, it may take a few months to a year, depending on your overall health, treatment, and lifestyle factors.

3. Follow-up and Management:

   • Pulmonology Consultation: A pulmonologist can assess any existing scar tissue and suggest treatment options or lifestyle adjustments to help manage symptoms.
   • Additional Tests: If you haven’t had a recent chest X-ray, CT scan, or lung function tests, these might be helpful to assess the extent of scar tissue or any ongoing issues.
   • Nutrition and Weight Management: Given the weight loss, it’s also essential to focus on nutrition, and a specialist can help design a supportive diet plan during your recovery.
