Since your dad started treatment 20 days ago, he may soon be (if not already)non-infective. There is no need to isolate him. He should cover his mouth while coughing and dispose his sputum properly. You should ensure that he takes his medications on time. You could take your child to a doctor and get a skin test for tuberculosis done and treat if necessary. Anyone in the family suffering from cough for a long time should get a checkup done. Though tuberculosis is contagious, it is completely curable.
