Hi thanks for asking question.
You have diagnosed tuberculosis with tuberculous peritonitis.
The started AKT has to be taken daily and regularly.After few days because of decrease in bacterial load your fever will gradually subside.
As far as ascitis is concerned sodium restriction and diuretic therapy will be effective in treating it.
If symptoms are severe , tense ascitis and complication then it can be removed therapeutically by paracentesis with saline or albumin replacement.
Just now no need of paracentesis.First try sodium restriction and diuretic therapy for it.
I hope my suggestion will help you.thanks.
