Dear Lybrateuser, you have not mentioned the duration of your present ATT therapy, please understand TB treatment is a step wise therapy and you need to have patience. Pus and other symptoms improvement varies from patient to patient. Please don't change / switch / alter TB medicines or their doses. Kindly complete your course and you can always have a second opinion from a Pulmonologist. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
