HI
Well come to HCM
If this is Tuberculosis then multidrug resistance need to be ruled out if fever is not responding because the resistance against the first line of antitubercular drugs have been increased and this regime failed to responds in my opinion better to have word with doctor or follow the DOT method, hope this information helps.
