Will The Condition Of Having Primary Be Passed On To The Child By Mother?
Hi, im a mother of 1 year old and 8 months. I had a primary complex when i was 9 years old and i am healed with proper medication. My worry is that, it is possible that i can pass to my baby what i had before? My baby has lymph nodes and had a skin test probably he has a primary complex too

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
No if you had some primary complex that long back it will not be passed on to your child. It can pass on from a person with active tuberculosis to your child.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
