General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Diagnosis is clear , now question is not getting relief .
Let me explain few things.
Rifampicin 's dose is 30 mg / kg body weight once in day ( single dose , not divided due to its plasma half life)
Althrocin ( erythromycin ) I don't prescribe this drug to my patient in tuberculosis .
Ibugesic is anti pyretic and benadryl is antihistaminic .
Now your doctor advised prednisolone ( wysolone ) and disprin .
If I would be the treating physician of this patient I would recommended rifampicin + isonex (R cinex P ) & levofloxacin 10-12 mg / kg once in a day .
If tuberculosis is there patient will respond from FIRST dose and there will not be fever from first dose.
In my opinion consult a pulmonary & chest physician and get his opinion ( 2nd).
Good luck for children.
