Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the worldβs leading infectious diseases, but the good news is that itβs preventable and curable with proper awareness and treatment. At Panay Health Care, we believe that education is the first step in stopping the spread of TB.
π‘What is TB?
TB is caused by bacteria that usually attack the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes, or even talks.
π¨ Know the signs and symptoms of Active TB:
πΉ Cough lasting three weeks or more
πΉ Coughing up blood
πΉ Chest pain or pain with breathing/coughing
πΉ Night sweats and chills
πΉ Fatigue and weakness
πΉ Loss of appetite
πΉ Unintentional weight loss
These symptoms may seem common at first, but they shouldnβt be ignored. Early diagnosis saves livesβboth yours and those around you.
π± Together, we can work towards a TB-free future. If you or someone you know is showing these symptoms, donβt waitβseek medical help immediately.
Letβs spread awareness, not infection. π
