Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for brain related diseases as her all the reports are normal.
Anti tubercular drugs can precipitate migraine and this can cause similar kind of headache and other symptoms.
So ask your wife to follow these lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief in migraine like headache.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
3. Avoid oily and spicy food, avoid junk food.
4. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
5. Take propranolol and flunarizine combination at night time before bed.
6. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
Don't worry, she will be alright with all these.
Don't stop anti TB drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
