TB is quite contagious, ho na, especially in crowded public places. The best way is to keep our immunity strong with good food and avoid close contact with someone who has an active cough. If anyone is coughing for more than two weeks, they must get tested immediately.

I tried taking many herbal kadhas and turmeric milk to build general lung health, but we must understand that TB is a bacterial infection. While good nutrition helps build immunity, the only real protection is avoiding poorly ventilated spaces and ensuring children get their BCG vaccine on time.

Getting the BCG vaccine in childhood and maintaining basic respiratory hygiene are the most effective ways to prevent TB.

Tuberculosis spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. To prevent infection, maintain good hand hygiene, wear masks in high-risk clinic areas, and ensure proper home ventilation. Since it requires a specific antibiotic course if contracted, always trust a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

When a colleague of mine was diagnosed with TB, the doctors advised us to keep our office windows open for cross-ventilation and wash our hands regularly. Fortunately, none of us got infected, but it made me realize how important fresh air is.
