Early symptoms of tuberculosis, how to treat tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory infection caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lungs. Although they are all infected with a virus, because each patient's own resistance and the toxicity of the virus after it spreads into the patient's body are different, the specific clinical symptoms of the patient will also be different.
Because tuberculosis is contagious, it is good for both the patient and those around you to find symptoms early and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. The common symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are inseparable from the following 6 kinds:
Physical weakness. After getting up in the morning, I still feel weak, and I feel weak throughout the day, but at night, I will become excited again, and even have insomnia problems.
Unexplained weight loss. Losing weight without dieting or losing weight, the body is thin.
Cough or expectoration. The early cough is not very obvious, and after the disease aggravates, there is obvious cough, or even hemoptysis.
Night sweats. Night sweats are severe while sleeping, and the body will fall into a state of extreme weakness.
5, body temperature fluctuations. The body temperature fluctuates significantly throughout the day, especially in the afternoon or after exercise, while the body temperature decreases in the afternoon and evening.
6, chest pain and chest tightness. In the early stage, it is intermittent dull pain, and it will become serious after the disease aggravates.
Since tuberculosis is a contagious disease, you need to seek medical attention immediately after you find out that you may be infected with tuberculosis according to your symptoms, and you can recover after receiving regular treatment after the diagnosis. Don't be afraid after being diagnosed, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
If you get pulmonary tuberculosis, you should use drugs for regular treatment as soon as possible. Generally, a combination of drugs is used, and anti-tuberculosis drugs are taken for at least half a year. Patients can not stop or reduce the drug without authorization, which will make the disease not completely cured, and the disease will be repeatedly aggravated.
Or opt for surgery. Now the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis has less application of surgical methods, and this method is only tested for very serious diseases.
In addition to receiving regular treatment, patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should also develop good hygiene habits at ordinary times. When coughing, they should cover and avoid others, and do not spit. Combining work and rest with more rest is good for the lungs.
