Hello Vikas
As you mentioned that you took anti tubercular treatment for abdominal tuberculosis for 9 months.
All patients should receive conventional anti tubercular therapy for at least 6 months, including an initial 2 months of rifampicin, isoniazide pyrazinamide and ethambutol.
There after rifampicin+isoniazide for 4 months and the cure rate if 99 % according to WHO study.
As you mentioned that you took 9 months treatment ,so there is no question of any further treatment from anywhere.
If you have any problem related to tuberculosis in abdomen or elsewhere in body upload all reports and we will advise .
I think , if you have no problem , no need of any consultation.
Good luck.
