3. Early detection and treatment of tuberculosis.
4. Isolation and vaccination of tuberculosis: For active tuberculosis patients, proper isolation should be carried out to prevent disease transmission. Tuberculosis vaccination service should be provided for high-risk population.
At the family level, the management of tuberculosis mainly focuses on the daily care of patients. The following are some suggestions for home care:
1. Keep good ventilation: tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through air, so it is very important to keep good ventilation indoors to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
2. Personal hygiene: Patients should avoid coughing or sneezing in public places. If coughing or sneezing is necessary, the mouth and nose should be covered to prevent the spread of bacteria.
3. Proper use of medication: Patients should take anti tuberculosis drugs accurately and without error according to the doctor's instructions. Any decision to change the medication plan should be made under the guidance of a doctor.

It is advisable to increase the intake of high-quality protein foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, while also consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits to provide abundant vitamins and trace elements.
5. Physical activity: After the condition of tuberculosis patients is stable, they should properly carry out physical activities, such as jogging, shadowboxing, etc., to help improve physical resistance and promote recovery.
6. Psychological care: tuberculosis patients may have psychological problems such as anxiety and depression due to the pressure of the disease and long-term treatment. The understanding and support of family and friends are very important for them.
