I visited one of my relatives today and later got to know that he has tb. He sneezed in front of us, he is under treatment for the past 1 month. I am really worried if I contracted the bacteria. What should I do?

Pl do not worry. If the pt is on treatment for 1month,it less likely that it can spread.you will get only when your immunity is less.if you have symptoms, only, you can go for sputum examination, and xray chest. Pl consult pulmonologist for further evaluation and treatment.
