Prevention of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a serious lung infection and can be contagious. Therefore, if a tuberculosis patient is found, everyone will stay away for fear of being infected. This is very distressing and sad for tuberculosis patients. In fact, tuberculosis can be prevented, but many patients lose confidence and give up all hope once they are diagnosed with tuberculosis, which can only make the condition more serious.

Since tuberculosis is so terrible, how to prevent it is also a problem that everyone is concerned about. If the patient's condition is not very serious, he should exercise more often, but not overwork. Only by combining work and rest can the body have a good foundation. While doing your best, you should gradually increase the amount of exercise. This can not only stabilize the condition, but also not affect normal work and life.

1First of all, timely detection of tuberculosis patients and active treatment of tuberculosis patients is one of the most effective preventive measures. We know that tuberculosis patients, especially those with pulmonary tuberculosis who excrete bacteria, are the source of tuberculosis infection. Therefore, it is crucial to give tuberculosis patients regular and thorough treatment as early as possible to prevent them from excreting bacteria and control the spread of tuberculosis from the source.

2 Second, cutting off the transmission route of tuberculosis bacteria cannot be ignored. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, do a good job of disinfection and isolation, and avoid the spread of tuberculosis bacteria. Tuberculosis patients should be careful not to cough or sneeze in front of others, and should cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs or their hands to prevent the spread of germ-carrying droplets. Do not spit anywhere. Spit into a spittoon and then disinfect it. Infants and young children should also be kept away from contact with patients who are excreting tuberculosis. It is best for the patient to stay in a separate room. If conditions do not permit, he or she should sleep in a separate bed from others. Open windows in the room frequently to ventilate the room and keep the indoor air fresh. The utensils used by patients should be wiped with disinfectant frequently. Bedding should be placed in the sun frequently. In addition, a separate dining system should be adopted to avoid the spread of the gastrointestinal tract. Tableware used by patients should be washed and placed separately, and disinfected frequently. Generally, boiling for 20 minutes can achieve the purpose of disinfection.

3Third, improve the body's immunity and prevent infection. In addition to strengthening exercise and improving the body's constitution, infants and young children should be vaccinated with BCG to help the body develop immunity against tuberculosis bacteria. This is effective in preventing tuberculosis in children, especially miliary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis.

4 Fourth, giving anti-tuberculosis drugs to patients infected with tuberculosis bacteria can prevent the onset of tuberculosis. We have already said that some people are infected with tuberculosis but do not develop tuberculosis. This is because it is related to the person's own immune function and the virulence and number of tuberculosis bacteria that enter the body. For those carriers who have been infected with tuberculosis but have not developed the disease, in order to prevent them from developing the disease when their resistance is reduced, anti-tuberculosis prevention should be given.

It is very important to prevent tuberculosis, but if you have tuberculosis, you need to pay extra attention to many aspects of your life, and be extra restrained in your sex life. Try not to stay outdoors for too long when the weather is bad, and try not to smoke or drink. Developing good living habits is also an important factor in alleviating the condition.
