Question

I'm really concerned about my sister. She's been on tuberculosis treatment for the last two months, but now she's got these itchy bumps all over her body. Plus, she's been experiencing hallucinations for about two weeks. I'm worried that these might be side effects from the strong medications she's taking. Should we be alarmed by these symptoms, and do you think her medication needs to be stopped or changed?

Question

I'm currently on ATT treatment DOT and have had my lymph node aspirated twice. The culture and DSTMTB indicated sensitivity to all first and second-line drugs. However, the lymph node swells up again after the pus is taken out. Is this normal? I've attached a screenshot for reference. I'm taking my medication under DOT, and I have a history of TBM. For the past year and three months, I've been under treatment, and just last month, I noticed the TB lymph node. Could you provide some advice or insight into this?
