My Brother is Diagnosed with PTB

Our health is very important and we must do anything just to keep and maintain a healthy body.

But what if you discover one of your loved ones is sick?

I never thought this could happen to me, and in my family.

Just this afternoon, my happiness drastically falls when my brother went home from his medical examination.

"I am sick. You need to distance yourself from me."

I felt shocked when he uttered those words

I asked him what does he mean?

Then, later on, he told me that he has his X-ray examination's results with him and his doctor told him that he has 'Pulmonary Tuberculosis'

I felt very sad for him, especially he's my beloved brother after all.

What is Pulmonary Tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that can pass through the air between people. When it affects the lungs, the medical name for this is pulmonary tuberculosis.

It can cause chest pain, severe coughing, and a range of other symptoms.

I remembered before on how he complained about his back pain and chest pain. In his case, he needs to separate all of his utensils, foods, and distance himself from us.

We are wondering about how or where he got that kind of disease. Knowing that he is not a smoker, and there's no one here with that kind of contagious disease.

Gladly, TB is curable, however, it can be life-threatening if a person does not receive the right treatment.

Now after he was diagnosed with PTB, he was prescribed by his doctor different medicines for his treatment for 2 months.

After 2 months of treatment, he will do another X-ray to see if there's an improvement.

But the sad part was, he has no work for 2 months already due to this pandemic situation, and that medical examination he has done was intended for his new job application.

Destiny is really playful. Somehow, I'm very grateful for this site, that I am able to earn here. Now we jointly agreed to support him at all costs to help him financially in his medication.

Please send some tips if you have any idea on what to do about his condition.

And also send him some prayers for his fast recovery.
