My mother was diagnosed with Pott's Spine/Spinal Tuberculosis and was under ATT for 3 months and complete bed rest. After MRI done after 3 months and no significant improvement Dr. Started giving Streptomycin injections. She's suffering burning pain due to injections. It has been one month she is taking the injections. Moreover, She has started facing vision and hearing problems. Are these side affects of ATT? I have few questions. Kindly answer them all 1. Will medicine cure her or we should go with a surgical intervention as some Dr. Are suggesting this while other says medication will do. 2. It has been one month streptomycin is given. She faces burning pain due to this. For what minimum period injections are required? And is there any additional medicine to overcome the hearing side effect caused by it. 3. Should we go for surgery if not healed yet? Is it safe considering she's diabetic and hypertension patient and weighs 90 kgs. It has been 4 months she's on complete bed rest. Kindly help.
