Hi, I understand your concern.  - First, 6you have to get her fully investigated from a chest physician & know about the extent of her infection. If its active tuberculosis passing the infection to others via coughing, sneezing)& she needs isolation or her disease is non infecting & under control. She can be treated at home & she can feed her baby at this stage.  Speak to her doctor & decide - Medicines, regular consumption & regular follow up is a must. Tuberculosis can be fully controlled & patient can lead a normal life if she follows treatment plan exactly.  - Apart from this personal care in form of- - cleanliness, - high protein, vitamin, iron, mineral diet.  She needs high proteins in form of milk 2 glasses in a day, boiled egg/ protein powder available in pharmacy mixed with milk./ fresh vegetables & salads at least 10 glasses of clean water . Apart from her routine meals.  - light exercises (yoga/ walking/ respiratory exercises) . To help good appetite & digestion -Iron & vitamins in form of tonics as per doctors advise.  Thanks.
