Hello,
I have studied your case. Tuberculosis takes some time in healing. So you will not get any result in less then half month time. I would recommend you to continue taking anti tuberculer medicines for some time. You will see some improvement in three months time. You need to continue taking these for six to nine months. Also you need to take pyridoxine for neuropathy which is common side effect of these drugs.
You should take good healthy food. Take rich protein diet and regular liver function test .
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
I find this answer helpful
