Someone in my family was diagnosed with TB and now the doctors say I have latent TB infection. I'm a bit scared, to be honest. What's the best way to treat this so it doesn't become active?

I was diagnosed with latent TB during an employment health check. Don't worry, it is not active or contagious, you just need a standard preventive course of medicine to stop it from activating.

In our times, many people had latent TB and lived healthy lives. Just take the preventive treatment now so you don't face issues when your immunity gets low in old age.

Bhai, sarkari hospital me iska ilaaj bilkul muft milta hai. Doctor sahib ki di hui dawa ka course poora karna, beech me mat chhodna.
