Question

I've started treatment for tuberculosis after being diagnosed with a high lung infection and I've been on medication for 18 days now. Most of my symptoms like weight loss, fever, and night sweats have really improved, but I'm still testing a 4 on the TB sputum smear test. I'm worrieddoes this mean the medicine isn't working for me?
