Hello Mzomuhle . 👋

Welcome! 😁 I know nothing about TB treatment but yes, pleurisy takes ages to heal. I remember mostly the pain. 😐 However, if you feel like something is awry, you need to talk to your doctor.

Hoping you feel better very soon.

As Caspiana says, it takes time to heal from pleurisy but do contact your doctor with any concerns you have. Feel better soon. Xxxx
