Prior history of TB, makes starting ATT look like a correct decision. The course should have been started ideally after testing the bacterial resistance to drugs. But that now the symptoms have subsided, mostly it’s drug sensitive TB. The course should be taken for 6-9months depending on the progress, intensive phase (IP) for 2 months and continuous phase (CP) for 4 months. Initially acidity and nausea are common side effects, in such instances syrup suclarfate 1 tbs 30mkn before meals can be taken. Always look out for side effects while taking ATT- - isoniazid causes pheripheral neuropathy, so always take tab pyridoxine(vit B6) 20mg once daily, already a known case of diabetes increases the risk -pyrazinamide increases the uric acid levels in the body and causes severe joint pain and lever toxicity as well - ethambutol can causes decreased vision and scotomas - rifampicin causes liver toxicity, causes red urine (comparatively less harmful) Have rich protein diet(especially 2 eggs)daily and never miss you daily doses of ATT

Yes ATT is working. Superadded infections (mostly viral/ dengue) may cause fluid collection in many areas at the same time. Since the symptoms are decreasing in frequency and intensity, there’s nothing to worry. Keep your diet balanced and consider adequate fluid intake.
