World TB Day: Keep These Things In Mind
The bacteria that cause TB enter the body through breathing. Through coughing, talking, sneezing, or spitting, this infection can spread to other people. A cloth or mask should always be placed over the mouth of a TB patient in such a situation. In order to manage TB, TB patients must consume a pure and nutritious diet, follow a regular routine, and take prescribed medicines on time.
