We are having tension ..Is the treatment is correctly going or it may lead any problem to my child..we are worrying about her..please suggest us if you understand my kids problem and if the course is right for the treatment
Based on the history and the lab tests your daughter seems to be suffering from tuberculosis for which her doctor prescribed the medicines. Continue giving the treatment as prescribed. Liver function tests are usually done initially before starting the treatment for tuberculosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
