If your tuberculosis is confined only to lymph node and x ray and sputum was negative for lung tuberculosis then not much of precautions are required as lymph node tuberculosis does not spread by aerosols. You may need to take symptomatic treatment for cough
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
