Hello doctor I am 35 year old female having cervical tb have taken five months of treatment how can I make sure my five year old son does not catch it from me. Or how can I keep checking him so that at the earliest evidence I take him to paediatrician
Hi Dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Three weeks of proper anti-tubercular treatment makes the person non-infective to others. Baby to be considered as contact, to be investigated in terms of ESR. MX TEST, CXR etc. to rule out the spread. Some symptoms to noted like Loss of appetite, no proper weight gain, dullness, irritability, swelling of the cervical or axillary lymph nodes, chronic pain in abdomen etc. Hope the query is answered, thanks
