Tuberculosis is a serious disease and is usually treated with several different antibiotics given over a course of at least 6 months, sometimes up to 12 months. A person with TB must work closely with their doctor, because the doctor will need to determine if enough medication or too much medication is being administered, and be able to adjust it as the treatment progresses. It does not go away and must be treated with medication. Death can result in untreated tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis will kill you without treatment. And it never truly goes away. If you or someone you know has it, I suggest getting to a doctor right away. And stay faaar away from others as it is INCREDIBLY contagious.
3 :
I'm assuming you have it...go to a doctor as soon as possible. It's potentially fatal and highly contagious
4 :
Tuberculosis can have several different degrees of severity. While the classic description is of eventual fatality that can take years (Chekhov suffered from TB for decades). And, despite the general paranoia people feel about a disease that is as contagious as TB (particularly if it infects the pneuma of your lungs) people have completely recovered from it without treatment; I know of one woman who discovered she had had TB only when a doctor discovered scar tissue in her colon.
5 :
No. Tuberculosis has to be actively treated and the treatment last any time from 6 to18 months or even longer. Once treatment has started, you should not abscond until the treatment has run its full course otherwise the disease will come back and the bacteria could become resistant to the antibiotics.

You need to see a doctor to get treatment. Untreated, tuberculosis can kill you. It is also very contagious
