Hello doctor,I met someone yesterday and we were speaking to each other seating closely and touching hands. I came to know later he was advised by doctor for TB medicine suspecting TB in him day before. He was not sneezing or coughing at the time of the meeting. However, since the evening I started having frequent cough and fever in my body. These are some queries about this. Are there any chances of myself getting TB? Which medical test should I do now? What preventive medicines I can take to avoid chances of getting TB? How long it may take to confirm whether I have infected TB?
Hi. To help you better, I need to know first of all that that person has TB of which organ of body? Like TB lungs, TB bone, TB lymph node?
