How long does it take to treat a fever from tuberculous pleurisy?

Tuberculous pleurisy fever treatment may take 9 months or even more than 9 months. Tuberculous pleurisy is a tuberculous infection of the pleural cavity, which can lead to symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, fever, etc. At this time, standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment is needed, and the course of anti-tuberculosis treatment is relatively long, often needing to be as long as 9 months or even more, or else the tuberculosis may be prone to recurring due to insufficient treatment time. In addition, patients with tuberculous pleurisy sometimes have a significant high fever and may require short-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ketorolac tromethamine in conjunction with anti-tuberculous treatment. Some cases of tuberculous pleurisy with a high volume of pleural fluid may also require intermittent aspiration of the pleural fluid for treatment. Antituberculous therapy alone may cause treatment failure or lead to associated complications such as chronic tuberculous pyothorax.
