I'm really starting to worry because even though I've been on the treatment for Tuberculosis since early August, I'm not seeing any improvement. I have these persistent symptoms like daily evening fevers and joint pains, and I've stopped losing weight but not gaining back what I lostI used to weigh 62 kg and now I'm stuck at 55 kg. The CECT scan showed some enlarged lymph nodes in different areas like prevascular and hilar regions, and I can't get rid of this feeling that it might be something more serious, like a malignancy. It's been 6 weeks since I started the treatment. Is it time to consider other possibilities or should I stick with the current treatment plan a little longer?

I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I was prescribed Montax FX and Pulmoclear for ten days, and they seemed to work great at first. But now that I've finished the course, the same symptoms have returned. I'm really worried. What do you think could be going on? Should I be doing something different or trying another medication? I'm feeling a bit lost and would appreciate some advice.

It seems that the symptoms returned after completing the prescribed course of Montax-FX and Pulmoclear. This could indicate that the underlying issue wasn't fully addressed or there may be an underlying condition that requires further evaluation. I would recommend revisiting the doctor for a follow-up to reassess the situation and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

I've been having a fever sometimes along with body aches, and my chest feels heavy. The X-ray shows some air in my chest, but I tested negative for COVID. What could be causing this?

I'm just a little concerned after my recent visit to the panel physician. They did an X-ray and found a spot, then mentioned it might be linked to Tuberculosis. So, now I'm scheduled for a sputum test over the next three mornings. But here's the thingI've got none of the typical TB symptoms like coughing, breathing issues, or losing weight. I'm really curiouscan an X-ray actually show definite signs of TB, or is there a chance it's something else?
