ANSWERS:-

- Should expectorate into a disposable tissue and dispose in a plastic bag that is fully secured. It is always better to burn the tissue with the expectorated secretions.

-It takes atleast 6months for the medications to kill / destroy the TB bacteria. So it is necessary to take medications atleast upto 6 months.

-it is not necessry to take a 2 skin test again in 6months. 2 skin tests are often taken in healthcare wokers.

- should take TB medications as long as the symptoms are no more. you will feel better after few weeeks of taking medications. But the Tb bacterias are still alive in the body. So always continue medications until all symptoms are gone.* TB is notspread through sharing food, touching or sharing eating utensils and dishes, tooth brushes, nor through saliva, touching bed linens or toilets seats.

*It is not needed to limit your daily activities. Do exercises mainly deep breating exercises. Take precautions while coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth while doing so. Isolate from others to prevent spread of infection.
