I was diagnosed with abdominal TB four months ago, and I'm wondering when my lymph nodes might disappear. How will I know if my TB is cured, and when will that be? I'm feeling okay right now and taking Rcinex 600 and Combutol 800. Is that enough to cure the TB? Ive attached a CT scan for reference. I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB back in 2018 and got treated, but it came back in June 2020. My doctor had me get a chest CT scan, and I attached the report. Can you explain what "collapse consolidated left upper lobe with tiny calcification" means, and why are there still subcentimeter lymph nodes present after treatment? Could this be MDR TB, and how can I check for MDR? I have no cough or weight loss. Also, what does it mean if lymph nodes are heterogeneous?
collapsed means shrunken lung , and need to test TB again

I'm really concerned because my mom has been taking Serobid Rotacaps for about four years now without any issues, but I've heard there's a shortage of the 50 mcg ones across the country. Could you recommend a non-steroid alternative for this? I just want to make sure she continues her treatment without any interruptions.
Foracort 200 rotacaps is advised to the patient.
