Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You need to discuss with a pulmonologist (TB specialist) before starting on anti TB medications. Any medicine shouldn't be taken unless necessary and until favourable diagnosis has been reached. TB medicines re strong and taking that for 6 months without confirming diagnosis is debatable, in the light of negative PCR and mantoux test.
Hope this helps
