My dad's been dealing with TB and has been on medication for the last 10 days. His fever's still hanging around, fluctuating between 99 and 101. I'm just wondering when we might see that fever start to go down. Any insights?

I've been a bit worried about something. Back in April 2021, when I had Covid, I had an HRCT scan, and they found a small, ill-defined nodule in the superior segment of my right lower lung lobe. I'm 33 and wondering if maybe I should get another HRCT scan soon or wait a bit to check on whats going on with it. What do you recommend?

yes do one more hrct scan.
