Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You should wait till the treatment is completed. It will cured after completion of anti tuberculous treatment. If it remains persists then you should go for culture and sensitivity test. There is chance of multi drug resistant tuberculosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
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.
