Abdominal TB takes longer time to recover than the normal counterpart. Follow the appropriate regimen as recommended by your consultant. Sometimes, other infections or anaemia may be associated with this condition, also check your appendix status due to prolonged fever. Change the antibiotic course (Additional) if taken apart from regimen and treat any swelling in your body (Neck, Chest, Abdomen).
Next Steps
Do CBNAAT after 2 months of Intensive phase (If 6 months regimen followed). Repeat CBC and X-Ray, also do Serology for other illness.
Health Tips
Avoid contact with household/ workspace. Adequate rest and proper follow up with medications.

Persistent high fever after 40 days of treatment for abdominal TB may indicate treatment failure, or drug resistance, or secondary infection, because of increased ESR and CRP. Better to :Recheck drug sensitivity (DST) Follow correct timing and correct dosing There might be other infections (urine, blood, abdominal abscess) further evaluation is needed. Follow-up with your physician or TB specialist

What other symptoms do you have besides fever? How is your appetite? Do you have any swelling anywhere on your body? Do you feel overall better or worse compared to before starting treatment? Persistent fever despite taking ATT can have several causes : including drug-resistant TB, a paradoxical immune reaction i.e., now that your immune system is getting better it's trying to control the infection thereby causing fever, drug-induced fever from ATT, or TB-related complications like abscess formation. It’s best to consult your primary physician for further evaluation and appropriate workup.
Next Steps
Consult primary physician.
