The reports suggest that u have drug induced hepatitis, in all such scenarios the ATT fixed drug combination which has 4 drugs needs to be stopped and u need to be started on modified ATT after identification of the drug causing hepatotoxicity.
Next Steps
u should go to ur primary physician and start individual drugs in a sequential manner
Health Tips
u need to also identify the risk factor causing drug induced hepatotoxicity and get a USG abdomen and fibroscan to rule out any existing liver pathology
