We get the same handful of questions from almost every new patient: is TB curable, how long does treatment take, can it spread to my family, and what should I eat during recovery. Our FAQ page collects straight, doctor-reviewed answers to all of it, so you can walk into your first consultation already informed.
The short version: yes, TB is curable in the vast majority of cases with the right treatment course, completed in full. Standard treatment runs about 6 months, longer for drug-resistant strains. Transmission risk to family members drops sharply once treatment begins and is managed with simple precautions in the meantime. Nutrition matters too — a protein-rich diet supports recovery alongside medication.
