Since genexpert was positive and it’s lymph node tb, better to take prolonged ATT, 9 to 12 months after consulting a pulmonologist

Continue your anti TB medication for 6 months as advised. And go to follow up regularly to a Pulmonologist. Nothing to worry as of such.
Cough might also be due to gastritis caused due to medication.
