Types, Symptoms & Cure for Tuberculosis (TB) According to Dr. Willie Ong
TUBERCULOSIS (TB) – Doctor Willie Ong revealed the different types, symptoms, and cure for this health condition that affects many people now.
More and more health conditions are becoming rampant nowadays. Most of these diseases are due to the unhealthy habits of the people while some are due the people lacking vaccine against the health conditions.
Based on a video of Dr. Willie Ong, in the Philippines, one of the diseases that many people are dying from daily is tuberculosis. More commonly called as TB, around 73 people die because of it every day. The doctor cited that it has different types, symptoms, and the cure must be strictly followed.
According to Doc Willie, a TB may not only target the lungs which is the widely-known type of this disease. It can also exist in the bones and as well as the brain. With regards to its symptoms, the following must not be taken for granted:
- cough with phlegm
- phlegm with blood
- unintentional weight loss
- fatigue
- fever every afternoon
- extreme sweating during night time
- loss of appetite
In the video, Dr. Willie Ong said that a chest Xray is usually conducted on older people to determine TB. With regards to the children, it is usually the skin test or the PPD Test that is done to diagnose if a kid has TB.
In case the result of the test is positive, the treatment may last from six(6) to nine(9) months. Based on the post, the treatment should be strictly implemented and followed as there is a chance that it won’t get totally healed if not.
For the babies, the best prevention against TB is to give them BGC vaccine. Although it cannot spare the baby 100% from getting the disease, it can lessen the effect in case the baby would acquire it.
