See your doctor: This is a complex syndrome which may need the assistance of an infectious disease specialist. Management includes treatment of all of your symptoms.

Proper specialist: Agree with other physicians. Tuberculosis treatment follows guidelines and recommendations as per centers for disease control (cdc). Anyone being treated for TB should have an appropriate infectious disease and/or health department consult. Most important is compliance with meds and cdc guidelines.
