My mother found some lump type in her neck. She consulted to doctor & the doctor told it "tuberculosis" she is prescribed with medicines of six month. Now her lump is not seen in neck. But sometime she is feeling some burning sensation in her neck, her body feels shivering while sleeping & sweats a lot. please help me to know whether it is any effect of those medicines or any other symptoms!

Hi lybrate-user, Hope your mother is taking the tuberculosis medicines regularly. That's the basic for tuberculosis treatment and cure. Usually patients will have skin irritation and stomach upset for tuberculosis medication. Shivering and sweating will be present during the early infection period around first 2 to 3 months. Do not worry about the symptoms. It will be alright once she is taking the medicines regularly. And during the first 2 months the medicines dosage will be little higher than next 4 months drugs. And I could not get her age and other co morbids like diabetes status, any medications etc. Be confident and assure her that the symptoms will be reduced in upcoming months. Get well soon!
