TB is a serious illness that can take a long time to cure. If you have a family member or friend with TB, you can help by reminding your loved one to:
Take TB medicines at the same time every day (they’re best taken with water, milk, or juice 30 minutes before meals or at bedtime).
Keep all follow-up appointments (you can help by driving or arranging for a ride).
Get plenty of rest.
Eat healthy meals.
