Hi
Thanks for your query
Once TB treatment is started it is very essential to complete the treatment because incomplete courses of treatment may cause TB to relapse or may cause emergence of drug resistant tuberculosis even in the presence of clinical or radiological improvement. Relapsed or drug resistant TB if occurred it is tough to treat. So please complete the course of anti-tb drugs and follow your doctor's advice.
Thank you.
