[|Human|] My mom is around 50 years and weighs around 75Kg. Her TB gold test came positive around 3.5 -4 months back. Also ESR was around 90.She has been on medication (earlier AKT3 and now AKT4) since then. Her ESR has also came down to 28 when she got it retested last month. However mild fever (99-99.6 does not reach 100F) and weekness still persists. Is it normal ?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. I can understand your concern. After 3.5 or 4 months of treatment, fever is not very common. Though Rifampicin has side effect of flu like symptoms. Please a temperature chart so that the pattern of fever can be interpreted. She should also get tested for any other associated infection like urinary tract infection. Hope I have answered your query. If anything else you are welcome. Good luck.
