It is generally not recommended for young children, like your 5-year-old son, to stay in close contact with someone who has active tuberculosis (TB) due to the risk of transmission. TB is primarily spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. However, if the TB patient is undergoing appropriate treatment and their condition is under control (usually after a few weeks of proper medication), the risk of transmission decreases significantly.
It’s best to ensure that the person with TB follows their treatment regimen, wears a mask when necessary, and practices good hygiene. If your son has been exposed to a TB patient, it's important to consult with a doctor for advice and possibly get a TB test.
