hi
Tuberculosis granuloma is treatable with anti-TB medicines taken for 9 to 12 months and is curable. Since he has no cough, chances for transmission to others are remote, but if untreated, can lead to complications and vulnerability to spread.I would suggest that he may consulta TB and chest physician at the earliest and start prescribed drugs by visiting a specialist in a hospital
best of luck and wishes
Do not panic, or worry, it is curable with current medicines
thanks
