my father, 65 yrs old, having cirrhosis of lever had recently got breathing problem. diagnosis revealed that he had acuumulated fluid in his right chest. we got that drained out and lab testing of that fluid suggested that he has caught TB.

he is under treatment now. doctor has given few injection and medicine. Since the medication of TB leads to elavateld LFT he hasn't initiated some more drugs.

Meanwhile the condition of my father is deterioriating. He has got infection in his mouth. Cant eat, and doesn't want to eat. Even when hungry he eats very less. coughs most of the time. Weakness is increasing. Are these common symptoms during ongoing treatment?

Please suggest. How long will it take to him for restored appettite, less coughing and less weakness. Please suggest.
