Are Dizziness And Lose Of Appetite Due To Treatment For Tuberculoma Of Brain?

My mother (66yr) is diagnosed with tuberculoma of brain. 3 weeks into treatment, AKT4, streptomycin (0.75), and now she is getting dizzy all the time. Cannot walk without assistance, keeps losing balance. Has lost apetite, eats very little. Confusion of mind is resolved only to a very small extent. Is the dizziness and loss of apetite a side effect? When can we expect a marked improvement (at least stable)
