Suggest Treatment For Fever , Cough And Night Sweats

I am a 38 year old lady, healthy and been having night sweats for the last one year. I don t have a fever, cough and have not lost any weight. I exercise often, eat well but I am naturally slim, I was found to have latent TB 4 years ago but was advised that I do not need treatment for it. I have a sister with type 1 diabetes mellitus. I am concerned about the night sweats and I do not believe they are due to environment. What is your advise?

Hello. I have gone through your question.As i see you are worried about Tuberculosis. Latent TB does not require treatment as it is the active TB that requires treatment. It is very rare that you have developed Type 1 diabetes melitus as 95% of people develop type 1 diabetes before the age of 25 years. Now for your night sweats i need more information from you:-
1. Are you taking some depression medications?
2. Are you taking drugs used to regulate your hormones?
3. Are you taking any diabetic medications?
4. Are your menses normal?
Please provide me with the answers to above mentioned questions so that i can help you. Please feel free to contact me. Thanks and wish you good health.
