I'm currently on treatment for tuberculosis, and I've been running a fever between 99.5 and 100.3 during the day, but at night it's spiking up to 102-103. It's been almost 27 days since I started the treatment. I'm just wondering if this level of fever is normal and when I might see some improvement. Could you shed some light on what's going on?

Hey, I hope you can help me out here. I recently moved from Kolkata to Assam, and I'm having a tough time finding the medications I've been prescribed. I used to take Digihaler FB200, Cilapam LS, and Clonil 10 in Kolkata, but none of the pharmacies around here seem to stock them. Can you suggest any alternatives with the same ingredients? Im quite worried because I need to continue my treatment without interruption.

I'm dealing with a lung infection because of the climate here in Delhi. My doctor suggested taking TelekastL and Sereflo. I'm just a bit concerned about using TelekastL for a long period. Is it really safe? And should I be reconsidering living in Delhi if this is causing health issues? I'd really appreciate some insight into this.
