Thanks for your query at HCM!
You must make sure that your father has to strictly adhere to compliance of drugs daily. He must not stop his drugs at any cost without his physicians advice. e has to be monitored for any serious hepatic complication. Stopping treatment at owns risk will lead to emergence of dangerous MDR and XDR or TDR TB bacilli which is very difficult to treat.
What anti-tubercular drugs he is taking?
What were his symptoms?
I suggest he must take treatment and good diet. His other problems will go after a while.
He can take analgesics for headache. If it persists he must visit physician and get investigated(CT scan may be required).
He will get well soon and require treatment for many months after which he will be fine.
Keep in touch for follow up with your physician.
I hope I was helpful.
Take care.
