I've been taking TB meds for 8 months and my Genexpert test came back negative. But now I'm getting fevers again, like between 101 and sometimes 99.3. What tests should I do to figure out why this is happening?

View allI'm feeling quite anxious about my test results. My neutrophils are at 84, and my erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 23mmhr. I've also got a pus cell count of 5-6 hpf. The results show Salmonella typhi O and H both at 1:160, while Salmonella paratyphi A and B are negative. It says negative for dengue and malaria. My RBC count is 5.61 millioncmm, platelet count is 2.13 lakhscmm, and haemoglobin is 16.2 gdl. My WBC is at 7000 cellscumm. The doctor suggested that I get admitted, but I'm really pressed for time and can't afford to do that right now. What should I do?
Hi from the reports it seems to be like typhoid fever. The decision of admission must be taken by you and your doctor after discussion of the condition

I'm currently on MDR drugs and have been for the past 16 months. Initially, I was on capreomycin injections daily, along with thiomide E 750 mg, pyrazinamide 2000 mg, moxifloxacin 400 mg, and clofazimine 100 mg. Now my doctor is suggesting that I stop the medication, but some people are saying I should continue for 18 to 24 months. Can you help me understand if I should stop the medication as advised or continue for a longer duration? I'm really worried about what's best for my health.
yes continue same
