Hi thanks for asking question.
You are suffering from tuberculosis, treatment of it by AKT take time in completely clearing the infection.
Because of some residual mycobacteria you might suffer from occasional fever.
Look for improvement of clinical symptoms and chest x ray improvement with sputum examination.If it show improvement then chances of akt failure are less.
So try to avoid stress and complete akt.
Wish you good health.
