Hi,
Thanks for your query,
Positive Tb gold and raised ESR with symptoms of low grade fever highly suggests tuberculosis. Your treatment protocol is OK. usually it takes at least two weeks for the anti tubercular medication to relieve the symptoms. So continue the treatment and expect the recovery by a fortnight or month.
If possible take the medication especially the rifampicin empty stomach in the morning....
Best wishes
