I've noticed I tend to take deep breaths pretty often. Is it normal or healthy to do so all the time? My breathing rate is about 15-16 breaths per minute. What do you think?

I'm wondering how long a fever might last when you're going through tuberculosis treatment. Is it normal to have a fever for a while, and how severe can it get? At what point should I expect the fever to stop?

Fever during tuberculosis treatment can occur, especially in the initial phase, as your body adjusts to the medication. Typically, it should subside within a few weeks of starting the treatment. If the fever persists beyond that, it's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about how my body is reacting to the ATT medications. It seems like none of the four drugs are tolerable, whether I take them alone or together. I've started getting ulcers in my mouth and throat, and I'm constantly feeling weak and tired. Could you please advise on how I can manage these side effects or if there are any alternative treatments I should consider?
