[|Human|] My Son is suffering from fever since last 2 months .It normally have an intensity of 99.6 to 100.2 F. His doctor detected the cause as primary stage of TB and we started the medicine since 6th may 2014. Its almost 7 week now and fever is still coming with the same intensity. Kindly suggest how long can fever persist due to Tb?
[|AI|]  Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I advise you that fever continues till the bacillary load of bacteria won't come down. The duration varies from person to person. In some individuals it started from 15 days and in some it may require more than a month to recover. But I assure you should continue the treatment, and do a resistance testing of the isolated bacteria. If the resistant is detected you have to change the Chat Doctor. I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me, Wish you a very good health at Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor. Infectious Disease.
