Doctors’ responses
Hello dear Please be aware See you may be having either congestion or obstruction You will require pulmonary tests for confirmation along with culture for disease progression Kindly consult pulmonary surgeon for better clarification Regards
When to Go to Hospital / TB Clinic Urgently: No improvement after 60 days of ATT
Cough worsens or blood in sputum
Persistent fever >101°F in evenings
Severe vomiting or weight continues to drop
You may be developing either drug-resistant TB or a gastritis complication from the medication. Please do not stop ATT, but revisit your government DOTS center or pulmonologist for evaluation. Early detection of complications can save lung function and prevent spread.
Persistent cough, evening fever, and body pain despite 50+ days of TB treatment suggest incomplete response or possible drug resistance. Consult your TB treatment center immediately for sputum re-evaluation, chest X-ray, or GeneXpert test to check for drug resistance. Do not stop medication; continue under strict medical supervision for proper management and nutritional support.
Visit your treating physician and ask for these test Chest X-ray repeat CBNAAT / GeneXpert test (check for drug resistance) Sputum for AFB (if possible) Weight check + BMI update Check for side effects of TB drugs (like gastritis, hepatitis)
And tab PANTOP 40 mg for reflux and excessive cough post meal
