There are other optional medicines also with less side effects but for that you will need to consult your physician.
Or you can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment. Which is safer and can help a lot in vision ans spine.

There is no reason for you to continue Pyrazinamide so long. And why is there no isoniazid in the prescribed drugs. The regimen you using for to cure tb is not correct. It should contain rifampicin, isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2-3 months and later the drugs should be continued without Pyrazinamide only for 9 months at the most in total.
I don't understand the reason for 1.5 yrs of treatment. Even if it's bone tb the drugs should be for 1 year and without Pyrazinamide.

Rifampicin resistance not detected means Rifampicin INH pyrazinamide Ethambutol are to be taken in the requisite doses. There's no need of streptomycin injection.
Wish you good health.
Meticulous treatment adherence till cure is recommended to prevent relapse or complications.

1. Although not entirely clear from the details provided, it seems that you still have TB lymphadenitis. 2. The resolution of the disease will mainly depend on the drug sensitivity, the type, dose and duration of anti-TB drugs and how compliant you are with the medications. 3. If you still aren't cured, something went wrong in one or more if the above mentioned factors. Please get yourself reviewed as soon as possible.
