Cold abscess inright back
I am a TB patient since August 2016. My treatment started from August 22. I have been taking rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and pyrazinamide. But after two weeks doctor told me to stop rifampicin as my liver test got high, it was affecting my liver. So since then I'm eating the other three medicines. Now I've developed a cold abscess suddenly near mid December. I went to a surgeon to remove the pus accumulated. After 15 days again pus was removed. It keeps coming again again. I just want to know when this cold abscess will go away. What do I do to get rid of this cold abscess! I'm too depressed please help

Rifampicin could be restarted, starting at a lower dose and building it up gradually, keeping check on liver function test.
Also culture of fluid could be done to sensitivity to ATT.
