TB in Children
Hello Doctor,
My father is 70 years old. He got TB 10 years back and used medicine for 9 months. It was cured. He got covid 2 years back and he is diabetic patient.
My daughter is 4 years old. We stay separately and visit my home once in a year. He used to kiss my daughter and feed food while he is eating.
My daughter is tested TB positive 1 month back. She has swelling in lymph nodes in neck and don't have any other symptoms. She is vaccinated with BCG vaccine. is there any chance my daughter got TB because of my father?
