Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that in pulmonary tuberculosis continuation of treatment AKT is important than to think when the fever will go. The fever will continue till the bacillary load won't cone down. So continuation and regularity of the treatment is necessary.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
