I would like to know the dose of Anti tb drugs and which anti tb drugs are given. Because the basis of tb cure lies on proper selection of the drugs and that to in standard weight according dose. Since yourmother has 70 kg weight she will need all tb drugs in higher dose than routine dose. So the fever may be due to inproper cure of tb due to low dose. So consult good tb specialist and discuss this thing with him.
