I have the classic symptoms of TB - cough (no phlegm though), noon and night fever(38+ deg.Celsius) no appetite, weakness, 5 kilos weight loss in one month.Our rural doctor (in charge of TB program in our area here in the Philippines) won t give me the proper drugs because my sputum test is negative and gives me multivitamins and ciprofloxacin. It s been a month now with these symptoms. Can you give me your opinion on this? As a courtesy it will be confidential.I just want a second opinion.
Howell come to ChatDoctorThe symptoms alone are not the confirmation for diagnosis of tuberculosis, if your test reports are negative then this may not be Tubercular infection at the most you can go for second test to get it confirmed, take care.
