Dear Doctor,
My dauhhter 7 years old is on ATT since 19th march 2016. She had fever and knee joint pain on right side for over one and half month. Mantous was psotive and CT & X ray showed Hiler Lymph adenopathy. Bronchoscopy, GL, Bone marrow & CSF was done but no AFB found. Malignancy also ruled out. based on mantoux & CT, ATT was atarted on 19th march.
STill fever is perisisting though it was better for a few days after starting ATT. The fever used to be low grade risingb high at times when we had to give her Paracetamol. But since last 3 days she is having fever along with joint pain. this pain is always there when she has fever. This morning (29th april), she had high fever (101 deg F) and she complained of acute pain in left knee and right shoulder joint. The fever didnt go fully even after giving PCM 250.
4 days back she had conjuntivities in her eye.
Doctor, I just wanted to know how ling the fever persists after starting ATT?? What is the cause of Joint pains?? Also a sometimes during fever she developes nodes and red rashe in her sole which is very painful.

Please give your opinions... really worried we are..
