Suggest treatment for fever , loss of appetite and cough
Patient: For the last two and a half weeks I have had no energy, extremely diminished appitite, coughing, constantly running a feaver of 99-102. I have the chills and sweat at night. I have been to the dr twice. Had chest ex rays, blood work ect and everything had come back fine. The dr gave me an inhaler and some antibiotics but nothing has worjed. I still feel horrible. Doctor: Thanks for your query.I think you have a chronic infection likely to be tuberculosis. You can get sputum examination for ZN STAINING and culture sensitivity test for mycobacterium done. If all test are negative. You can get tested by high resolution CT Scan to look for lymph nodes. Some times treatment for tuberculosis must be started on high clinical suspicion. Take adequate rest and eat protein rich balanced diet with multivitamins and calcium supplements.Take care
