Is It Because Of TB Drug Resistance I Am Coughing Blood, Having Fever And Skin Rashes?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with TB. Been taking the quadtabs (inh, pzn, rif, eth) for about a month now. At the start of my treatment, there s not much blood in my sputum, but am having itching and skin rashes . A week later I wasn t able to eat on time after brisk walking and had fever . Lost the rashes but the fever came back. These past days I have been coughing significantly larger volumes of blood whenever I eat less and sometimes I also cough blood in the morning which lasts the whole day. Is this drug resistance? Should I rest more or should I continue brisk-walk and deep breathing exercises?

hi;
Please take rest along with medicine ;you will need to have high protein diet so that you tolerate medicines better & also gain lost weight .But since fever is back & blood in sputum is again increased please go to your doctor ASAP so that you can be investigated for drug resistant TB as well as decide further line of treatment.
thanks
