How can you get tb tuberculosis?

As someone who recovered from lung TB, I can tell you it spreads when you breathe in the bacteria from an untreated patient. It's very important to keep your immune system strong and wear a mask in crowded public places. If you have night sweats and weight loss, get tested immediately.

I actually caught TB during my college days, probably because of living in a crowded, poorly ventilated hostel. It is not something to panic about, but you have to complete the entire 6-month course of medicines without skipping even a single day.

While TB spreads through respiratory droplets, building up your immunity with good food is so crucial. My uncle was cured of TB, and his doctor told him to eat a high-protein diet with eggs, paneer, and milk along with his regular tablets. Good nutrition really speeds up recovery.

When my doctor first suspected TB because of my persistent cough, I absolutely panicked and thought it was a life-threatening crisis. But my family doctor reassured me that modern medicine makes TB 100 percent curable. Just get a proper chest X-ray and sputum test done to be sure.
