Don't search for TB symptoms on Google or try home remedies to lower the fever. Low-grade evening fever is a classic TB sign. Go get a proper sputum test and chest X-ray done under a doctor's supervision.

Yes, fever is actually one of the most common symptoms of TB, especially in the evening! 🤒 Please make sure to get a proper checkup done at a clinic. Take care! ✨

My roommate had TB last year, and his main symptom was a persistent low-grade fever every evening along with a dry cough. Once he started the government DOTS treatment, his fever resolved in a couple of weeks.

I completely understand how scary it is to have a persistent fever and worry about TB. It is a classic symptom, especially if it rises in the evening. Please don't panic, TB is fully curable now. Just visit a doctor to get it sorted.

Yes, a persistent low-grade evening fever is a hallmark sign of tuberculosis. For safety, you must get this checked immediately by a pulmonologist or visit a government health center for a sputum test. Do not delay.

Haan, TB me bukhar toh hota hi hai. Government hospitals me iska test aur dawa bilkul free milti hai DOTS program ke andar. Aap bina der kiye apne paas ke govt dispensary me jaakar checkup kara lijiye.

Yes, TB and evening fever go hand in hand like tea and biscuits in India. If your temperature rises every evening for more than two weeks, don't sit around. Go to a doctor before the virus gets too comfortable.

Yes, TB definitely causes a low-grade fever and makes you lose your appetite completely, which means no cravings for good food. If you are experiencing this along with weight loss, please get tested by a doctor immediately.
