Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you take TB treatment properly for 6 months, there is nothing much to do, except taking some OTC painkillers. Otherwise, the chest pain will reduce as the treatment goes on. If it worsens, then X-ray chest should be done to look for pleural effusion, which can also lead to chest pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
