Hi,
Tuberculosis treatment should be taken for at least six months. First 2 months consists of intensive phase treatment after which you will be non infective. Remaining 4 months consists of killing all the bacteria and preventing relapse in future. Cough and other allergic reactions can occur due to the multiple drugs. Antihistamine can be taken to reduce these symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
