Hi,
1. The anti TB drug doses have to be prescribed as per weight of the patient. Without knowing the weight it is not possible to comment on the dosing accuracy of the drug.
2. Mantoux test is NOT a follow up test to monitor disease. It is used as a supportive evidence for diagnosis of TB in general.
3. Please follow up clinically with your doctor/ chest physician.
