Hi doctor, Im 24 years male. I'm having lymph node TB and my doctor had prescribed me isoniazid and rifampicin for 8 months. I read on wiki it should be taken for 9 months. Can you please tell me is 8 months an effective treatment as I'm having anxiety daily that I will not be cured? Please help.

Thanks. For TB treatment you should be in 4 drugs for first three months followed by three drugs for next 4 months. See a pulmonologist to chalk out right strategy.
