Why Am I Still Having Mild Temperature After Having Medicine For TB?

Hi, I am 21 and have been diagnosed TB after Mycobacterium combo test,1gm(EIA) with results 1.75 . I used to face difficulty in swallowing which has now improved as I am on medication since the last one month but I still have a mild temperature at times. I currently weigh 45 kgs and am 5'4'' tall.

Hello
You mentioned that you are having tuberculosis and taking treatment fro last one month . Still you are feeling difficulty in swallowing ( somewhat improved now ) but high temperature still present. Since only one month passed for treatment , so you have to wait for at least 1 more month as fever will subside. You are under weight so you should take some additional vitamins and high protein diet . When a tubercular patient visit my clinic I prescribe ANTI TUBERCULAR TREATMENT + levofloxacin 500 mg in the night ( one tablet / night ) .
So in my opinion consult your physician and take his consultation about fever and levofloxacin.
Hope this will help you.
