shocking report about TB
On the occasion of World TB Day, lung experts have presented a shocking report. According to the report, women working in multinational companies (MNCs) and housewives are increasingly falling prey to tuberculosis (TB) due to work stress and unhealthy diet. Experts say that career-oriented professionals and housewives often prioritise work or family over their health, which weakens their immune system and increases their risk of contracting infections like TB.
What is Tuberculosis and how does it spread?
What is TB
TB is an infectious disease that spreads through the air. When an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks, the bacteria present in the small droplets coming out of his mouth spread in the air. If a healthy person inhales them, he may also be at risk of getting TB. What are the early symptoms of TB? The symptoms of TB develop gradually. Many times people ignore it thinking it to be a common cough and cold. But if these symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, it is important to get checked by a doctor.
Tuberculosis Treatment
- Get BCG vaccine- This vaccine is given to children immediately after birth to protect them from TB.
- Maintain distance from the infected person- If someone has TB, avoid going too close to him and use a mask.
- Take care of hygiene- Make it a habit to wash hands and take care of cleanliness.
- Take a balanced diet- Eating nutritious food strengthens the body’s immunity.
- Get proper treatment- If you have TB, get proper treatment from a doctor. Do not stop taking medicine in between.
