How can I manage the itching caused by my AKT-4 treatment (which I sometimes take Montek LC for) for tuberculosis outside the lungs, and what are the chances of getting tuberculosis again after being fully cured?
Itching can be a side effect of your AKT-4 treatment. While your Montek LC (levocetirizine and montelukast) can help, please consult your doctor to ensure the itching isn't a sign of liver sensitivity. In the meantime, keeping your skin well-moisturized and taking lukewarm baths can provide comfort. As for recurrence, the chances of getting tuberculosis again after being fully cured are very low?usually under 5%?especially when the full treatment is completed.
