Good Morning. My Mrs. age is 59 & she lost 5 kg. weight in just one month & has 110 ESR .She had fever up to 100.5 degree c.After consuming anti biotic tablets fever comes down but it comes again when we stop taking anti biotic tablets. What should be the reason ?
Hi! I appreciate your concern towards your wife. Nothing to worry about it, she will be alright in due course of time! Fever not responding to routine antibiotics associated with weight loss and raised ESR could be due to chronic infection like Tuberculosis. Does she have cough with sputum?Anyhow, she must undergo the lab investigations like chest X-ray, sputum analysis, and other tests to rule out tuberculosis. Once it is confirmed complete treatment will ensure the eradication of the tuberculosis. Besides, she must take nutritious food like high protein diets, fresh fruits and vegetables. Regards!
