I've been dealing with TB and started my meds back on March 13, 2018. At the beginning, my fever was really high, around 103, but now it's gone down to about 99 to 100. I'm wondering, when can I expect this fever to finally go away?

It's great that your fever has reduced. Typically, it can take a few weeks for the fever to completely subside during TB treatment, but it varies from person to person. Keep monitoring your temperature, and if it persists or worsens, be sure to consult your doctor.

I've already completed two months of treatment. What does this all mean? Should I be worried about the differing test results?

I'm really anxious after getting my X-ray results back. It mentions bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings, and I'm not sure what that means. Should I be worried about this? Can you help explain what it indicates or what might cause it?
Bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings on an x-ray typically indicate an increased density or prominence of blood vessels and lymphatic channels around the central part of the lungs. This can be a normal variant in some cases, but it can also be seen in conditions such as pulmonary congestion, infections, or inflammation. Treatment would depend on the underlying cause. If you are experiencing symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
