              Nausea is a common symptom of tuberculous patient patients . If you are having nausea try to
              1st identify drug causing nausea
              2nd get Usg abdomen and sgpt done

                Isolation of a patient depends on the severity of cough a patient has . I have taken advice from a medical practitioner . They say that since this is droplet infection ,using a mask while coughing and not sleeping with anyone for at least 3 months is the precaution needed .strict isolation is not actually needed.

                    Lymph node tuberculosis of neck is very common in children . PS specify your age,and I’m glad you asked us . Our physician advices not to press or touch the area repeatedly. Clean with betadine lotion and continue your medication . In case of need of antibiotic or anti inflammatory ,you need to consult a surgeon and physician both .

                        Sonam ,this is a very difficult situation . As per our panel of doctors advice you need extensive investigations . They suggest you not to leave the medicine at all . You need evaluation of your musculoskeletal system ad calcium levels . Consult a physician and orthopedecian too .
