Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hi,
Medications of 3 months is inadequate for TB. The medications need to be started and stopped only at doctors advice. You should immediately visit a pulmonologist and get yourself clinically evaluated. If it was a diagnosis of confirmed TB at outset, then there are high chances of relapse.
