Question
Dear sir, how many days, does a mother of 7 months baby suffering from TB have to take medication for it? Can she feed the baby?
Answer
Mother's course of ATT will depend on the type of TB and response to treatment. Often a course of 6-9 months of ATT is given for pulmonary TB.
Breast feeding also appears to be safe when the mother is taking standard anti-tuberculous medication.
