Keep the children away from them. If a person with TB laughs, coughs, or even talks for that matter, they can infect the people around them very easily, and children and elderly are the most likely to get it. Or, you could wear a face mask but it would need to be changed atleast every twenty minutes.

Mucinex or Robitussin.  Drink alot of water with it.

TB is required by the state to be reported to them. They require a chest xray and then if negative they give a drug that you have to take for at least 6 months in order to prevent TB from occuring later on in life.  They give this medication for free and would not give it if there was no proof of TB entering the body.  This medication is very hard on the liver and can cause permenent damage to it, but the benefits outweigh the risks.  If you are asking if you should give your baby some of the person's medication who already has TB the answer is no, you could kill your baby by giving it the wrong dose of medication, infants are very sensitive to medication doses.  Also they need to finish their entire prescribed amount of medication or they are at risk for developing anti-biotic resistant TB which is very hard, and possibly cannot be cured by any anti-biotics that are avialable today.

Hi Ed\n\nI dont know about drug combos, but here is what I do know. Ideas on how to get well.\n\nCause\nTB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB causes 1,800 deaths per year and 20,000 new cases are reported annually. The primary risk groups are older African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. Also at greater risk are people with illnesses that decrease immune function, such as alcoholics, malnutrition, diabetics, and people who are HIV positive. \n\nCaution: Drugs that act as immune suppressants, such as corticosteroids, can retrigger tuberculosis.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nNote: Prevention is the key to treating and minimizing the spread of TB. This is achieved through vaccinations, such as the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine. Contact tracing using skin testing and x-ray should be performed on relatives and friends of patients with TB as an effective way to detect early cases of TB that have not yet presented with symptoms. Proper diagnosis must include a chest X-ray and skin and sputum tests, and proper treatment must include drugs. \n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that emphasizes raw vegetables and pure filtered water. Pears, pear juice, and pear sauce can also be helpful, as pears can help hasten healing of the lungs. Other helpful foods include fenugreek and alfalfa sprouts, garlic, pomegranate, and all forms of fermented milk such as yogurt and kefir. \n\nHerbs: Combine the tinctures of echinacea, elecampane, and mullein in equal parts and take one teaspoon three times a day. This remedy is very effective for soothing the lungs.\n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nJuice Therapy: Combine raw potato juice with an equal amount of carrot juice. Add one teaspoon of olive or almond oil and one teaspoon of honey, and drink three glasses each day.\n\nLifestyle: Get plenty of fresh air, rest, light, exercise, and relaxation.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: The following supplements are recommended for TB: Vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, Vitamin E, multiminerals, essential fatty acids, zinc, garlic capsules, citrus seed extract, lipotropic formula, deglycerinated licorice, and lung glandulars.\n\nTopical Treatment: Eucalyptus oil packs applied topically over the lungs can help break up congestion and collected fluids.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating TB: Acupuncture, Detoxification Therapy, Energy Medicine (Light Beam Generator, Ondamed), Homeopathy, Light Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Oxygen Therapy, Qigong, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

You mean tuberculosis lymphadenitis, an inflammation of the lymph glands caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  It is a TB that is outside the lungs.  TB is primarily a respiratory disease and is spread through droplet infection (sneezing, coughing).  If you belive you have been exposed to an active case, you will need to see your doctor for a Mantoux test (sometimes called a PPD).  It's a skin test using a purified protein derivative (PPD) with the results read 48-72 hours later. If you are the one with TBL, and I certainly hope you're not, you should be on a medication "cocktail" and in isolation (hopefully in a negative pressure room in a hospital).

Tuberculosis (TB), chronic or acute bacterial infection that primarily attacks the lungs, but which may also affect the kidneys, bones, lymph nodes, and brain. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a rod-shaped bacterium. Symptoms of TB include coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, chills, and fatigue. Children and people with weakened immune systems are the most susceptible to TB. Half of all untreated TB cases are fatal.\nMicrosoft ® Encarta ® Encyclopedia 2005 © 1993-2004 Microsoft Corporation.

Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  It can attack any part of the body.  Though it usually affects the lungs.  It can also affect the renal, musculoskeletal or lymphatic systems.  Anyone can get TB, though people with compromised immune systems and elderly persons are at greater risk.  People with diabetes or cancer are also at greater risk.  TB is transmitted from person to person through inhalation of droplets from a sneezre or cough.  You can also become exposed through prolonged, close exposure to an infected person.  Signs and symptoms of TB include a persistant cough, fever, weight loss, fatigue and night sweats.  Some individuals have no symptoms.  There are medications to treat TB. There is currently NO VACCINE for TB.  A skin test (Mantoux test) can show if TB bacteria is present.  The incubation period for TB is 4 to 12 weeks.

Zicam has always worked wonders for me. The trick is to take at soon as you start getting sick.
