Question 1

I've been dealing with a fever for about six weeks now. My doctor did a Mantoux test, which came back positive, and I started treatment for TB. The fever went away after four days, but now it's back. It spikes to 102 degrees around 3 PM and again after midnight. Is this something normal during TB treatment, or should I be concerned about it?
