Yes Akurit 4 with the above dosages can be given to your son. The information regarding how tuberculosis was confirmed is missing. If the tuberculosis was confirmed, then complete the course as directed by your paediatrician.
One of the things you need to watch out in your son is any changes in visual parameters. Ask your son to report any changes in vision and report immediately to your paediatrician if there are any vision changes.
Hope the above information helps. Thanks.
