This condition is caused by exposure to infectious bacteria, which can lead to tuberculosis (TB) in children. If a youngster is regularly exposed to someone with active TB, particularly in crowded or poorly ventilated environments, they may develop tuberculosis. In many cases, TB can develop slowly, making early detection challenging. If your child experiences persistent coughing (especially with blood), fever, weight loss, night sweats, or fatigue, they should see a doctor. Consult a pediatric pulmonologist or TB specialist if your child has difficulty breathing or is showing signs of severe weakness. Tuberculosis, when diagnosed early, can be effectively treated with the right medication, ensuring your child recovers fully and leads a healthy life.
