My mom was diagnosed with tuberculosis last year and after nine months of medicine, she's finally tested negative, which is such a relief. There was also a suspicion of ILD before she got TB, but no treatment was started for that because the focus was on the TB. Now that TB is under control, her chest HRCT was done. I'm sending it over for you to take a look. Can you give me some advice on her health and what the next steps should be for her treatment?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on the AKT4 kit for her pulmonary TB, and ever since she started the medicine, she's been feeling completely exhausted, both morning and night. She's also experiencing dizziness and itchy skin at night, which is unusual for her. These symptoms only appeared after she began her treatment. Could these be side effects from the TB medication? Should we consider adjusting her dosage? She also has high blood pressure, but no diabetes. What do you think we should do?
