Hi, I am suffering from tuberculosis pleural effusion. Approximately 600 ml fluid was taken out. Now I am taking AKT-4 and B-complex medicines. Even after one month of treatment i have the temperature of around 99.5 to 102 throughout the tday. This is usual or unusual one. what treatment i have to take. Please advise me.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorAs you have been started on AKT-4,you have to finish the complete course of the tablets. Pleural effusion will subside with the intake of these medications. If It's worsening, and you have a breathing problem you can undergo pleural tapping. Temperature fluctuations are very common in Tuberculosis. So, no need to worry. It will subside as you complete the course. Take paracetamol for fever. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
