Thanks for your query.
Yes, sometimes it can take time to improve, like 3-4 weeks. As TLC is 1970 probably it will improve soon. If infection is there, antibiotics and antifungal as advised will be required.
To monitor side effects regular kidney and liver function monitoring required, apart from physical examination.
Voriconazole can be given for 6-8 weeks if required.
