I'm on ATT since March 16, 2022, after being diagnosed with Pulmonary TB. I've had a persistent fever and night chills, but since starting treatment, my symptoms like weakness and shortness of breath have improved. Despite this, I've noticed my temperature still reads between 99.9 and 100.5 in the evenings, even though I don't feel feverish. It's been about a month, and I'm wondering how long this elevated temperature might last. Could this be normal while on Akurit4?

Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a couple of weeks now, and it's been tough because I'm also having trouble breathing. I got my blood work done and found out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. My general practitioner suggested I take Eofil once at night for 25 days, and I've already taken it for 5 days. Im still experiencing breathing difficulties, thoughsome days are better, but others are really tough. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?
