Hi welcone to HCM..
Here your brother having tuberculosis infection of gland , so I assume that you might have confirmed it by biopsy or sputum examination by Zn stain or PCR like investigation or culture ...
If you will not start AKT than chance of spread of TB and complication can be there ...
So full course of AKT should be taken six month ...
Meanwhile constant monitoring of side effect needed esp .LFT profile ...
Healthy diet taken with low fat and more fruits ...
Take care
Advise : consult physician for examination
