Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your mother has tuberculous lymphadenitis. It is not contagious disease. So don't worry about spread of infection to others. She should take a complete course of anti-tuberculous treatment. Take high protein diet and healthy food. No need to worry about spread of infection. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
