* Tb can give rise to various degrees in different stages .
* 2 possibilities are here in your case
1. If have stopped anti TB medicines on your own without the advise of

2. If have completed the anti TB medications as per doctor`s advise

Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further queries .
