Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have relapse of tuberculosis. For confirmatory diagnosis ypu should go for tb pcr test. If it is positive then you should go for culture and sensitivity test for tuberculosis and then you should start anti tuberculosis treatment again.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
