Hello,
Treatment of TB takes a long time and the patient must take all the medications at the right time.
I recommend you to visit the doctor because in these case may be needed a hospitalisation since there is a clinical deterioration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi, General & Family Physician
