Hello/ my name is Jesenia .I am very worried about my husband who has been ill for 2weeks fevers, a dry cough, loss of appetite, lost 10 lbs,sweats like crazy at night. we have been to a specialist for his lungs and he said everthing looked good.Dr. said he needed an inhailor to treat asthma which he dont have and gave him antibiotics. He is not getting better.Please help us.
Hi ! Loss of appetite with fever and loss of weight goes in favor of some kind of chronic infection. If you reside in a region where tuberculosis infection is not infrequent, you can discuss with your doctor to investigate your husband in the lines of possible tuberculosis and treat him accordingly. He already had some antibiotics and was not cured. Therefore, this possibility has to be considered.Wishing your husband an early recovery.
