Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tuberculous bacilli spread through respiratory droplets.

When you visit a place where respiratory droplet of TB is present can be acquired through inhalation. If immunity is low then tuberculosis usually occurs. Hence, healthy diet is helpful in fighting with tuberculosis. As you have diagnosed with TB complete AKT course for 6 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
