Yes, TB is primarily transmitted via airborne particles. So, airborne precautions are definitely necessary. This involves measures like using N95 masks and ensuring proper ventilation. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific guidance tailored to your situation.

Haan, airborne precautions hi lagte hain. Isme masks ka kharcha hota hai aur acchi ventilation bhi zaroori hai. Thoda costly ho sakta hai but health first, right? Plan your budget for good quality masks if needed.

Bete, hawa se hi failta hai yeh bimari. Isliye kehte hain khuli hawa mein raho, aur jiske ghar mein ho, usko mask pehenne bolo. Puraane zamane se yahi karte aa rahe hain, dhyaan rakhne ki baat hai.

When my child had a scare, the doctor insisted on airborne precautions. We made sure to keep their room well-ventilated and everyone wore masks. It felt like a big deal, but it's important for everyone's safety. Just be practical and follow what the doctor says.

At Apollo, they always stress airborne precautions for TB cases. Make sure you ask your doctor about the specific type of mask needed (like N95) and how to ensure proper ventilation, especially if someone at home has it. Clarity is key.
