Do you breastfeed for old tuberculosis?

Old tuberculosis can be breastfed. Old tuberculosis means that the tuberculosis has been cured and is not contagious and does not affect breastfeeding. This is because a patient with old TB is in a sense a healthy person, similar to a patient who has had pneumonia and recovered from anti-infection treatment. However, TB is a chronic infectious disease that takes longer to treat and may leave a scar in the lung after treatment. Like other diseases, patients recover from old tuberculosis and can get married and have children, and breastfeeding is not a problem, so don’t worry. Nowadays, breastfeeding is promoted because there are many antibodies in breast milk. Because there is no tuberculosis activity in the body of patients with old tuberculosis and the anti-tuberculosis treatment has been stopped long ago, there is no effect on infants and children, so they can breastfeed without worry.
