I'm really concerned because a friend of mine has been diagnosed with abdomen TB. I wanted to ask if this type of TB can spread through coughing or sneezing, or if it's not infectious like that. Is it safe for us to talk without wearing masks?

I'm really concerned because I've been having a fever that sometimes goes above 103C for the last four months. We've done all sorts of tests like for malaria and typhoid, and they've all come back normal. Blood cells are normal, urine culture, 2D echo, and blood culture are also normal. The fever seems to spike at night, reaching up to 103C, and taking DOLO P650 just makes me sweat a lot but doesnt really help long-term. What's going on here? Why is the temperature still high when everything else seems normal?
The persistent fever of over 103C for four months, despite normal test results, suggests a possible underlying condition that might not be easily detected through routine tests. It could be due to an autoimmune issue, chronic infection, or inflammatory disorder. It's important to follow up with a specialist for further evaluation and possibly more advanced testing.
