My son is almost 3 years old and he's been dealing with childhood asthma. We've had to take him to the hospital three times already because of it, and we're still facing challenges. I'm really worried about him. Is this something that can be cured, or is it just about managing it for now?

my son had TB and just had intestine surgery should I get the whole family checked for TB too
Yes, it's highly recommended to get the whole family tested for TB. Since your son had intestinal TB, which is usually not contagious, it's still a good idea to get the family checked, especially if your son had active TB in the lungs or throat. People with active TB are most likely to spread it to close contacts, including family members. If your son had pulmonary or laryngeal TB, there's a higher risk of transmission to household members. If your son had abdominal TB, which is less likely to spread, testing family members is still a good precaution
