Hello and welcome to HCM,
Kindly consult a specialist (pulmonologist) for review of the anti-tubercular treatment (ATT).
No ATT regime is as long as 14 months.
Prolonged ATT is given only in case of bone tuberculosis.
The ATT has be reviewed at regular intervals to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
In case of pleural thickness, pleural decortication can be done.
However, it is important to consult a specialist for clinical assessment and further management.
Thanks and take care
