Hello,
Anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) can lead to side effects. Worsening of symptoms despite starting of ATT can be suggestive of resistance against the drugs. I suggest you to consult your treating doctor to review the treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
