I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with some serious liver issues after starting my TB treatment. It all began with a fever right from the first dose, and even though I stopped the medication 12 days ago, the fever hasn't gone away. I'm worried about hepatotoxicity and what this means for my treatment. Do I really need to stop the TB meds completely? And if my liver's already damaged, how do I go about healing it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

yes you should stop that particular drug. If you stop the drug ,your liver will automatically get cured

I've just found out my HBsAg levels are 4094.27 and it's reactive. I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Can you tell me how I can treat this and how long it might take? Is this something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life? Any advice would be really appreciated.

You must continue to repeat relevant tests at regular intervals in order to determine the progression of your disease. Hepatitis B has no known cure, but can be managed with regular medication and lifestyle modifications.
