Mga kaaruba, magpa-check up na kung inuubo nang dalawang linggo!
Not all coughs are TB, but a cough lasting two weeks or more should not be ignored. Tuberculosis (TB) is a preventable and curable infectious disease that spreads through the air when a person with TB coughs, sneezes, or spits. Without proper treatment, TB can become serious and even fatal.
Watch out for these symptoms:
• Cough lasting 2 weeks or more, sometimes with blood
• Chest pain
• Weakness or fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fever
• Night sweats
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, get checked at your nearest District Health Center. Free checkups are available.
People with diabetes, weakened immune systems, undernutrition, to***co use, or harmful alcohol use may have a higher risk of developing TB disease.
Have a checkup at your district health center for stronger families and healthier communities.
