Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My maid, who also cooks for me is diagnosed with TB in the lymph nodes. I request your advice if I can have her back after 3 months of treatment. I am a rheumatoid arthritis patient taking 1 mg of steroid everyday, and 10 mg of Methotraxate once a week. However, she is on strict medication from the time of detection.
hello, for TB in lymph nodes your maid will need to take anti TB medications for 6 months. as long as she is not coughing she is very unlikely to spread the infection. so u can comfortably have her back after 3 months if her general health remains ok.TB is fully curable if patient takes proper medications hope i have answered your query regards
