Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted your father having tuberculosis.
For the first time he might have drug induce hepatitis ...as drug used in AKT us toxic to liver....

Now condition is under control.
So as per your doctor advise you should continue with AKT rather then using only herbal product.
Because if you will not take AKT and if clearance not there your condition will progress with systemic affection.and also chance if emergence of drug resistance strain....

Close clinical follow up is necessary.
Take care.
