Hello,
Your explanation is not so clear for me. As you explain, you are under treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Which means that your lungs are clear. It means for me that it has done a lymph nodal biopsy and the result has been tuberculosis (TB). The symptoms of TB are several, but the most common are sweats, a nonfebrile fever, anorexia, chronic cough for pulmonary tuberculosis, weight loss. The duration of treatment varies from six months to a one-year maximum, but it's your treating doctor who decides for this. If you are taking correctly the treatment, you will be cured completely, do not worry. No smoking, no alcohol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jnikolla
