Thanks for your question. TB treatment can be started empirically in light of clinical picture and relevant investigations. As you have already started treatment, continue it and if you or your doctor do not find improvement in 2-3 weeks, challenge the diagnosis and consider other investigations including sputum exam, repeat scan and bronchoscopy. Take care.
