[|Human|] My 51/2 year old son has been having abdominal pains and some tests have indicated abdominal TB. Montoux test reports are still pending. Could you tell me what impact this (Abdominal TB) would have on my son and what are the available treatments. Is this completely curabale without any operation ?
[|AI|]  Hi. This is 100 % curable with proper antitubercular treatment, and you have to keep him under care of Medical Pediatrician and Surgical-Pediatric surgeon... This is connected with your question. With the help of both there may not be necessity to have operation. Most of the child Chat Doctor.  So do not worry And the best part - the boy has not yet been diagnosed completely. It is very rare to get abdominal tuberculosis in this age group. It may be just abdominal lymph nodes / worms/ appendicitis is not uncommon.
