What Causes Recurrent Low Grade Fever After Suffering From Tuberculosis?
Hello, It may be due to tuberculosis. For fever, you can take tablet acetaminophen. For further assessment, you may require complete hemogram, chest X-Ray, sputum examination after chest physician consultation. You may require anti-tuberculosis medications after consultation. Take a balanced diet. Use the mask. You can take cough syrup containing ambroxol. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
