I'm sending over my reports and really need your opinion. I've been dealing with a mild fever, like 99.5 in the evenings, and a persistent cough for the last 23 months. I haven't lost my appetite or anything, but the symptoms started when I was in Italy and continued after I returned to India. The doctor initially gave me AKT4, but it seemed to make things worsemy fever went up to 101.7 and my coughing increased. After two weeks, they switched my medication to AKURIT 4, with five tablets a day since I weigh 77 kg. It's been nine days on the new meds, and now my fever is around 99 to 99.5 degrees in the evening for a couple of hours, and the coughing has reduced. I'm just not sure if I'm on the right track here. Is it really tuberculosis, and how long should I expect the fever to last? I'm pretty anxious about this.
