Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your daughter's diagnosis and treatment received by her.

She has tuberculoma of brain and Anti-TB drug induced hepatitis.

Safer drugs for tuberculosis include streptomycin, ethambutol, and ofloxacin.

Among anti-epileptic drugs, levetiracetam is safe.

These medications do not have any adverse effects on the liver.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
