Question 1

I'm really worried about my friend who's been getting treated for TB for over a month now. He seemed to be doing better, but then he suddenly came down with a high fever for a week, had terrible weakness, and was sweating a lot at night. The doctors gave him some new meds and he improved a lot, but now he's been diagnosed as COVID positive. Right now, hes not showing any typical COVID symptoms, so I'm kind of stressing about what we should do next. Could you give some advice on the next steps we need to take?

Enlarged lymph nodes can persist throughout TB treatment, but they typically start to shrink within 3-6 months; the standard treatment course for lymph node TB is 6-9 months, but it may vary depending on your response to treatment, so consult your doctor to assess your progress and determine the best course of action.

Accepted Answer

I understand that this feeling can be quite distressing. It could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or even a cardiac issue, though your previous tests were normal. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough check-up and possibly an updated ECG, as well as discussing any anxiety or stress you might be experiencing. Take care!
