Medical experts warn that drug resistance of tuberculosis bacteria is the most difficult problem in treating tuberculosis today. Therefore, preventing tuberculosis recurrence is one of the important measures to control tuberculosis.
Currently, the main causes of tuberculosis relapse are twofold. One is continued infection with tuberculosis bacteria in the external environment. Two is the proliferation and resurgence of tuberculosis bacteria in the body.
According to experts, the most important measure to prevent tuberculosis from recurring is to treat it properly from the very beginning of the disease. Only by being treated at regular hospitals specializing in tuberculosis and thoroughly treating it from the very beginning of the disease can the recurrence of tuberculosis be effectively prevented.
In addition to taking anti-tuberculosis drugs, patients need to pay attention to increasing physical exercise to increase the body's immunity./.
