Tb treatment
My mom is diagnosed with lymph node tb. Doctor recommended tb treatment for 6 months( Rcinex, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for initial two months continued with rcinex, ethambutol for 4 months) she's been undergoing treatment from past 3 months. She's getting urticaria (doctor diagnosed) from past one month. Doctor suspected it might be due to pyrazinamide but, even after pyrazinamide is stopped she's getting urticaria. It's been a month since pyrazinamide is stopped. If in case rifampicin/isoniazid is the cause of it and they have to be stopped, what other drugs are prescribed and for how many months?

Can go for drug provocation test. To identify if it is because of rifampicin /isoniazide /pyrazinamide.
