Topic: I am now in a health center under medication, because I was diagnosed with PTB (Pulmonary Tubeculosis). I've been taking anti-TB medications for a months now, 4 pieces per day. But last Friday and Saturday and Sunday and now, I see some blood when I cough. I'm worried. Should the medicine that I'm taking already be taking effect?

hindi po agad agad ang epekto ng gamot na iniinom niyo. magaantay po kayo ng mga 6 months bago tuluyang mapatay ang mikrobyo sa katawan ninyo.

kung nababahala po kayo sa bahid ng dugo. ito po ay maaaring dahil pa rin sa madalas ninyong pagubo. As long as hindi naman po kayo nagsusuka ng dugo o namumutla dahil sa pagkawala ng dugo sa katawan ninyo hindi nyo po dapat ikakaaba ang mga nararanasan ninyo.
