Hello
As you mentioned that your sister stopped the anti tubercular treatment before completion .
This is a dangerous , any how , now , as you mentioned that she is not responding to anti tubercular treatment , so may be due to these reasons.
1 She might have developed multi drug resistant tuberculosis , so for this nothing to worry ,now a days the best MDRTB treatment is available , so consult any chest & tuberculosis specialist and take treatment.
2 The next reason may be resistant to certain drugs .
So get in blood for culture and drug sensitivity test and start anti tubercular treatment .
As I have noted that in this type of condition patient become irritate so take your sister in confidence and start treatment.
Good luck.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your sister has tuberculosis.
Treatment is anti tuberculous drugs like isoniazide rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrizinamide and streptomycin.
Selection of drugs depends on site of tuberculosis. It is considered as defaulter so category 2 treatment should be given. If first line drugs are not effective then second line drugs can be used.
Consult your doctor and start treatment accordingly. Don't left in between. Complete the whole course.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
