Weight reducing & no improvement in XRAY

2024-01-28 07:23:54
I was diagnosed with MTB 2 months back. CT scan and sputum test confirmed. I have been taking medicines for past 2 months but my weight is still reducing. Starting weight 80 kg and now it is 71 Kg. Is my treatment going on right path? Should I continue or should I consult some other doctor? I have attached xrays for your reference (Please check dates below xray). Xray are for starting date of treatment and after two months of treatment. Note - 1. I have got TB first time. 2. No medicines missed in last 2 months. 3. Symptoms improvement in last two months - Cough, vomiting, reduction in fever and in general feeling better. I don't take dolo anymore but body is still sometimes at high temperature like 99.9. 4. I am having shortness of breath on doing small amount of work also.
