Hello
Thanks for asking us.
I am Dr Aamir and i will be answering your query.
See TB treatment is of 6 months if you in category one which means you took tb treatment before and also the medicine is freely available in government hospitals.You should go to a government hospital and start your treatment there under DOTS.
In my opinion you are having allergic reaction to the drugs your doctor prescribed you .As you already got itching and rashes all over your body.
Did you get fever also?
Consult a TB specialist for your treatment ans drugs.
Stay healthy
