Hi... First of all abdominal TB is not diagnosed by scanning. I would like to have some more information regarding his recent weight loss & chronic fever and loss of appetite. Its not right to start treatment for TB without arriving at a bacteriological diagnosis, in this era of drug resistant TB. Kindly see your pediatrician regrading the same. Happy to help anytime. If my answer has helped you...kindly rate it.
