Its a known side effect after starting of AKT medications. Streptomycin was initially the drug used for liver complicated TB. Currently amikacin drug is used instead of streptomycin as it has lower risk of side effects. Only thing duration would be longer in case of the liver protective AKT. We need to know whether its just cough or is it associated with fever and loss of weight. Of its only cough better go for an xray while continuing AKT drugs
Next Steps
chest xray repeat sputum AFB
