General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

See, you have said that your brother had been diagnosed with tuberculosis and treatment is started. See it is a treatment regimen of around 6 months and it will need time to get better. You will have to wait for some time.
Whether he was correctly diagnosed cannot be commented upon because I have not seen the reports. But you should have faith in your doctor. And as far as treatment is concerned, it is same protocol everywhere. Even government hospitals give free supply of medicine for tuberculosis.

Hope this was helpful.
Regards
