I've been dealing with pleural tuberculosis and have just finished my first two months of treatment. The fluid buildup started clearing up once I began treatment, but I'm still experiencing a mild fever in the evenings, around 99.3, that lasts until I go to bed. I'm kind of worried and really want to know when this fever might finally disappear, especially since I'm having trouble reaching my doctor with everything shut down. Any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?
