How To Treat TB In The Lymph Nodes?
My maid, who also cooks for me is diagnosed with TB in the lymph nodes. I request your advice if I can have her back after 3 months of treatment. I am a rheumatoid arthritis patient taking 1 mg of steroid everyday, and 10 mg of Methotraxate once a week. However, she is on strict medication from the time of detection.

hello,
for TB in lymph nodes your maid will need to take anti TB medications for 6 months. as long as she is not coughing she is very unlikely to spread the infection.
so u can comfortably have her back after 3 months if her general health remains ok.TB is fully curable if patient takes proper medications
hope i have answered your query
