My Brother is detected with TB, at Fortis.... He was admitted there for a week and discharged, So treatment has basically started 3 days ago. But He still sometimes in a day, suffers with high fever (101-102F), We give him dolo to reduce the fever besides the TB medicines that are prescribed by Fortis doctors... So till when it will persist ?? and is it normal to have fever ??
