Secondary pulmonary tuberculosis mainly spreads through trachea, and the lesion site is mostly in the posterior segment of upper lobe tip. Whether secondary pulmonary tuberculosis can self-heal depends on the patient's immunity. If the symptoms are mild, it can generally self-heal. Severe patients need to pass standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment to recover. Patients currently need active anti-inflammatory and anti-infective treatment. The commonly used drugs in clinic are isoniazid, rifampicin, etc., which need to be selected according to the condition.
