Post-Primary Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Reactivation TB)
What is Post-Primary Pulmonary Tuberculosis
In Homeopathy, Post-Primary or Reactivation Pulmonary TB is seen as a condition where old, dormant TB germs become active again because the body’s immunity or vitality becomes weakened.
At our homeopathic centre, we understand this not just as an infection but as a deep deficiency of lung strength and overall vitality — something that can be rebuilt naturally with the right constitutional homeopathic treatment.
“Even if TB has returned, your lungs can recover again — strongly, safely, and naturally with guided homeopathic support.”
Post-primary (also called secondary or reactivation TB) occurs when:
- A person had TB infection earlier (even without symptoms),
- TB bacteria stayed “silent” in the lungs,
- And later, due to weak immunity, the bacteria become active again.
This form commonly affects:
- Adults
- Elderly
- People under stress
- Patients with low immunity
- Smokers
- People recovering from another illness
It is often more intense than primary TB and may cause stronger symptoms — which homeopathy can support effectively by improving resistance, lung healing, and strength.
कारण
- Weakening of Immunity
- The biggest factor in reactivation TB.
Causes include:
2. Stress, anxiety, emotional trauma
- Excessive work or exhaustion
- Chronic diseases
- Lack of nutrition
- Long gaps in sleep
- Suppressed emotions
- Past TB infection that never fully healed
3. Poor Lung Vitality
Seen in:
- Smokers
- People living in polluted areas
- Patients with past asthma, pneumonia, or bronchitis
4. Miasmatic Background (Tubercular Miasm)
- Homeopathy explains that deep-rooted constitutional weakness may allow old TB infection to flare up again.
5. Other Risk Factors
- मधुमेह
- Anaemia
- Alcoholism
- Long-term steroid use
- HIV or other immune-suppressing diseases
- Malnutrition
लक्षण
Symptoms are usually stronger and more noticeable in post-primary TB.
- Severe or Persistent Cough
- With yellow/green mucus
- May contain blood streaks (common in reactivation TB)
2. Chest Pain or Discomfort
- Especially while coughing or breathing deeply.
3. Evening Fever
- Typical TB fever — rises in evening and reduces by morning.
4. Intense Night Sweats
- Bedsheets or clothes becoming wet.

2. High-Protein Diet
