TB is a terrible disease and its name scares everyone. By the way, if it is treated properly, it is completely cured. Today is World Tuberculosis Day and today we are going to tell you what is TB and how can we identify it. With this, how can we prevent this?

What is TB - Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria. Lung tuberculosis is the most common. It spreads from one person to another through the air. During the coughing and sneezing of the patient, the fine droplets coming out of the mouth and nose spread them. If at this time, sitting and talking very close to the patient, the infection also occurs. Apart from the lungs, there can be TB in the brain, uterus, mouth, liver, kidney, throat, etc. However, apart from the lungs, no TB is spread from one to the other. By the way, TB is also dangerous because the part of the body, if it is not treated properly, makes it useless. 

How to identify TB -
cough more than 3 weeks.
Mucus comes with a cough.
There is occasional bleeding in the mucus.
You feel less hungry.
Losing weight.
There are fever and breathlessness during evening or night.
There is chest pain while breathing.

What the patient should do - If you have a cough for more than three weeks, see a doctor. During this time, take a full course of medicine, and that too regularly. Be careful not to stop the medicine without asking the doctor.
