HiMy son is 2 yrs and 6 months old. We are settled in Uk and we travelled to India a month ago for a vacation. He was diagnosed with primary complex(montaux-15 * 15) chest x ray normal and is on rifa-i6 kid for a week now. He still develops some mild fever and this worries me. Should I consult the doctor again ?
Rifa-I6 kid contains a combination of Isoniazid, Pyridoxine, Rifampicin - all of which need to be given if primary complex has been diagnosed. It needs to be given for 6 months. I would not worry about the mild fever that he is getting. But about the treatment and its progress, although you have started the medication, I would still prefer you to visit any doctor at some RNTCP (Revised National TB Control Program) center of India and get the child evaluated.
