My baby was in a contact with suspected TB patient for an hour. She coughed bad during that hour. Im scared if he has any chances or what should be taken care of and that TB patient is working in same hospital as a nurse. Hospital refuse to share her TB reports or sputting test report. My baby was 9months when in contact with that patient and now he 11months. He is having fever now since 3days. He had fever immediate after 2days when he was in contact with her. Please help me. Hospital name is krushna hospital karad. Management people are liers and they refuse to share her report as they realised that it will be huge issue.
