Suggest Treatment For Fever At Night

I’ve been sick for the past 2 months, puking on and off, nosing always running, coughing, lots of phlegm with bits of blood, heavy chest, sometimes I feel my heart rasr for no reason and I have terrible migraines. But what’s really making me question is every night for the past week I’ve been getting a fever of 102- 103 but that’s only at night.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Evening rise in temperature along with a cough associated with sputum and weight loss (appetite loss) are the symptoms of tuberculosis. And you are suffering from the above symptoms since last 2 months.

I advise you to get an appointment of pulmonary medicine doctor and get sputum smear examination done for tuberculosis.

Also, have a chest x-ray to confirm tuberculosis or else to find out other respiratory lesions. If lung tuberculosis is there, then you should start an anti-tubercular treatment regimen.

It includes 2 months of active phase with 4 medicines and 4 months of continuous phase with 3 medicines. So, consult a Pulmonologist as early as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
