Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
SLE seldomly causes angina (cardiac pain)
The current regimen is secondary to the main one so it may take time for fever to fully subside.
But it is better to rule out resistant tb by doing of following up sputum LPA.
Left shoulder pain can also be caused by gastritis which is common for TB treatment regimens.
You may consult an orthopedician to rule out any bone related causes as well
