Patients with tuberculosis should not drink alcohol. They need to rest well, enhance their nutrition, and abstain from smoking and drinking. Systematic and standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment is necessary. With standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment, the tuberculosis bacteria can be effectively suppressed, symptoms can be controlled, and the patient’s weight can increase. It is crucial to abstain from smoking and drinking during treatment, as drinking can lead to poor treatment outcomes and even the development of drug-resistant tuberculosis. With timely and standardized medication and comprehensive treatment, most patients can generally be cured within a six-month course of anti-tuberculosis treatment.
