Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your mother has tuberculous lymphadenitis. It is not contagious disease. so don't worry about spread of infection to other. She should take a complete course of anti tuberculous treatment. Take high protein diet and healthy food. No need to worry about spread of infection.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
