Taking Tb medicines still having cough
My mother is suffering from Tuberculosis from past two months. 2 weeks ago my mother discharged from hospital. While during hospitalisation, she was detected positive for mycobacterium tuberculosis. Doctor prescribed her Akurvit-4 in morning after food, Benadon, some cough syrup. And said it will take 1-2 weeks to relief from cough.
But even now after 2 weeks 4 days, she is still having cough and low grade fevers.
Is it normal? How many days do i wait more? Sure she is having a very little relief since 2 weeks ago, but haven't got satisfactory results.
