Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Residual TB Pleurisy with pain in right lung,weakness.
Seems that you require extended course of DOT treatment.
PCR test Of the parietal Plueral Biopsy for the active TB infection,would be needed in your case,for deciding the extended treatment,in case your general and weak health with liver limitations does not allow the extended treatment.
What to do in your case?
Good High Protein Diet,
Exclusion of Diabetes and HIV by lab tests
and
As you don't have any of the drug toxicity complaints, I would suggest you to extend the treatment for another 3-6 mths under control of IGRA and PCR test of plueral biopsy material.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
