Kindly advice diet for a TB patient under DOTS treatment.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Good your father is under treatment, continue without any break, that is the most important thing. Diet also plays a vital role in TB treatment. Consume fruits, and vegetables like oranges, mango, sweet pumpkin, carrots, guava, amla (Indian gooseberry), tomato, nuts, and seeds are excellent sources of Vitamin A, C and E. Protein-rich foods and foods rich in B complex Vitamins should be taken. Ask him to have a boiled egg daily. He needs more protein because they aspirate effusion fluid from the chest, which is rich in protein. So there will be protein loss. To compensate add more protein-rich food.
