You can take her home if there is availability of hospital near by where you can go in case of need. If she is sputum positive then she precautions should be taken to avoid spread of infection, like wearing a mask, proper disposal of sputum , sleeping in seperate room etc. Talking about weakness in case of tuberculosis low grade fever, appetite loss and weakness persist for 2-3 week which will gradually improve over the course.
Next Steps
Main treatment for tuberculosis is proper Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs, Rest and high protein diet or protein powder.

Good evening madam. Well it depends on what tuberculosis she has. If it’s pulmonary tuberculosis yes chances of spreading or infecting is there. But it can be avoided by following safety precautions like wearing masks and proper hand sanitation and staying in a separate room.

the first thing she needs is complete rest since she is not putting well..she is not supposed to cook.
and it depends on what kind of positive tb she has before commenting on the spread
