Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of Urinary tract infection and vaginal infection is more in your case.
But better to rule out tuberculosis because you have contact with active patient.
So get done sputum examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli-bacteria causing tuberculosis) and chest x ray.
If both are normal then no need to worry for tuberculosis.
Drink plenty of fluids orally. Continue treatment you have prescribed.
Keep proper hygiene of private parts. Avoid unprotected sex if you are sexually active.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
