Good evening, Doctor, My question is my sister-in-law has confirmation of cavity lesions on her lungs that may be TB. My grandchildren went into her ER room to say good-bye before she was flown to another health facility. We did not know at the time she may have TB. What are the timelines and could they have been infected? I can not afford to pay.
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that TB does not occur on single exposure. If the child is exposed for prolong period than she has probability of getting TB. So right now there is no point of worry about you. There is no need to go to ER. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
