I'm really worried about my health. I've been taking my TB meds for six months now, but my latest X-ray still shows that I have tuberculosis. What should I do next? Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

I'm kind of worried because my asthma symptoms have come back after moving to Chennai. I'm experiencing tiredness, shortness of breath, palpitations, and it's really hard to exercise. I was previously on momeflo and Foracort 200 about 5 years ago for a year and it helped keep things in control. Should I consider restarting these medications, or is there something else I should try? What would you suggest?
