What can I do to protect my family at home so I don't give TB to them?

  • Take your pills. Keep taking them even after you start feeling better. Stop when your doctor tells you to.

  • Always cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough, sneeze, or laugh. Put the tissue in a closed paper bag. Throw it away.

  • Sleep in a bedroom by yourself.
