Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Following are the signs and symptoms of improvement in case of TB meningitis.
1. Absence of fever and headache.
2. Absence of seizure and vomiting.
3. Improved appetite.
4. Weight gain.
5. Not worsening cognitive and behavioral function.
So assess these signs and symptoms in your case.
Don't forget to take anti tb drugs for at least 6-8 months.
Don't stop before this duration.
TB is 100%curable, you need to follow proper 6-8 months course of treatment.
