Why would a doctor give a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis calcium?
I am just reviewing for a test and wondering why a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis would need calcium during therapy?

To promote calcium deposits at infected tissue which can cause calcifications of the lesions and promote the healing process.
2 :
To bottle up the little buggers in little limestone tombs. Kind of like "The Cask of Amontillado" for tuberculosis

There isn't a cure, just treatments and immunizations. Albert Clamette developed the first vaccine. He wasn't a doctor, a scientist of the time. The vaccine is still used today. It helped to stop the spread of TB

Tuberculosis can be treated with antibiotics (several types at the same time) and the child will probably need a short stint in hospital to start with. After the treatment is working and some improve has started to come through, the child can then be returned home to continue with the medication. So get the doctors involved in this case as soon as possible
