You should only be concerned about your weight, your appetite and your fever. Disappearance of swellings and nodes will take a long time. After all Tuberculosis treatment is atleast 6 months.
Next Steps
You will need consultation with a General Physician periodically. Please consult a General Physician on Practo.

It will take time to see clinical improvement in your symptoms. Just stick with the meds you surely will improve in due time.
I suggest you continue meds as prescribed & see your primary physician as scheduled.
