Kindly reconsult your doctor to solve this issue.
But in case the vomiting does not decrease, you can always have a second opinion from a Pulmonologist.<...more

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, tb infection should have been cured by your mentioned drug courses.
Sometimes lymph nodes calcify and don't reduce in size or number, so if you want to know if you are suffering from active tb infection, kindly undergo gene-expert or cbnaat test.
A positive gene-expert or cbnaat test, will require treatment and if negative, you can leave the lymph nodes as they are.
Wishing you good health.

your fever is almost under controll means medicine has started working. If you show good response to treatment why go for vsensitivity test, if no response to above drugs then next step will be taken, take above medicine with a single day miss and take good nutritious diet with milk, egg, fruits and vegetables good luck.
