Hello Doctor, I was diagnosed with Pulmonary TB about a month ago and began with the treatment in april end .The only symptom I had was rubbing around rib cage while taking deep breaths. Except for that, I did not have any cough, fever or even weight loss. During diagnosis , genexpert report showed that I was not resistant to rifampicin. After a month of treatment , on 27th may I experienced mild fever of about 99 deg C. But when it didn't go away I took paracetamol after the advice of my physician. The fever continued and I occasionally experienced sweats when I slept. When the fever didn't improve, my doctor checked me for malaria and found nothing in the tests. He also asked me for a new chest xray and saw a slight amount of improvement in the TB scar compared to earlier xray. An AFB test using pleural fluid came negative. He then advised me to take levoflox 750 for a week. Today, is the 6th day of levoflox and my condition of fever has slightly improved but the fever still comes back around in the late afternoon and then I take a paracetamol to avoid it's rise. Other than fever, I don't have any other symptoms. I have attached the latest reports respectively for my tests. Following are the medicines I was prescribed to and I have been taking them regularly. Tab. C.Rcinex 600 - empty stomach Tab. Pyzina 1gm and benadon 40 mg - After breakfast Tab. Cumbotol - after lunch Tab. Pyzina 750 mg - after dinner. Thank you very much,
