Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not worry at present.
As your wbc count and ESR are normal. In TB both are elevated. So no need to worry much.
Get done chest x ray.
And compare the lesion with your previous x rays.
If lesions are same than no need to worry.
Better to continue with the same antibiotic. Take paracetamol tablet as and when required.
Keep yourself hydrated. Warm saline gargles 5-6 times a day. You will be alright.
