Suffered From TB, Completed Treatment, Losing Weight And Appearing Like Primary Stages Of TB. Guidance?

Hi, my sister diagnosed with tuberculous lymphadenopathy and after 1-year of complete course and treatment, she seemed okay and started gaining weight, but again she is losing weight and appearing like she was at the primary stages of TB, very thin and fever will also be there. We took her to doctor and he said TB has resolved, but we are wondering what is wrong with her health/treatment?? Please help as she is only 16 years old

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
Your sister aged 16 years had T.B., infection, and got treated for that, few days she wasallright but again she started becoming thin no appitite. some times getting fever also.
I advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment. There could be recurance of tuberculosis , or if it is abdominal like iliocaecal T.B. it needs to be operated for complete relief. Or there could be some other disease in the body.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
