Hi,
Chronic infections like tuberculosis decrease the immunity of a person . The person is more susceptible to more infections.
Kindly ask him to take TB medications without missing even a single dose.
Also kindly visit a physician.
A chest Xray, complete blood count with blood culture, urine analysis and urine culture may be required.
He can take tablet paracetamol 500mg 3 times a day for fever.

Dr.Riyanka
