I've been having a fever, sweet-tasting sputum, and some bowel issues lately. I'm currently taking medication for tuberculosis every day and haven't had any side effects, but now these symptoms have cropped up over the past week. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried because I've been diagnosed with what they're calling infective etiology Koch's. Is this a really serious condition? Also, is there a treatment available for it?

Koch's disease, commonly known as tuberculosis (TB), is a serious infectious disease, but it is treatable with a course of antibiotics, typically lasting 6-9 months. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment are key to a full recovery, so it's important to follow your doctor's advice closely.
