Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has lymphnode tuberculosis. But INH is hepatotoxic drugs and she can not tolerate INH. INH causing liver damage in her. SO she should take 2nd line or 3rd line anti tuberculosis treatment. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
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.
