Is cervical lymphatic tuberculosis contagious?

summary

We all know that tuberculosis is contagious, so can lymphatic tuberculosis be contagious? Many people are not very clear, now I'll explain it for you.

Is cervical lymphatic tuberculosis contagious?

First, lymph node tuberculosis is not infectious, but patients with lymph node tuberculosis are generally caused by pulmonary tuberculosis. If pulmonary tuberculosis is active, there will be tuberculosis in sputum, but there are also patients with simple lymph node tuberculosis. It's best to check whether there is tuberculosis in the lung. If there is no tuberculosis, it's not infectious, so the lymph node tuberculosis is not infectious.

Second, lymphatic tuberculosis is different from pulmonary tuberculosis. Lymphatic tuberculosis is not an infectious disease. Lymph nodes belong to the immune system. Lymphatic tuberculosis needs to be treated as soon as possible: first, to avoid its further aggravation; second, the body needs to let it recover its function, play its role in immune sterilization, and strengthen the body. If the lymph node itself is responsible for sterilization and anti-virus has problems, it is more difficult to treat.

Third, lymphatic tuberculosis does not excrete bacteria and is not infectious. Only purulent, ulcerative and fistula secretions can be infectious and belong to contact infection. There is a traditional Chinese medicine method: with 2 two donkey hide gelatin, a jin of mature vinegar boiled into a paste, and then with black cloth applied to the lymph nodes, even half a month has the effect.
