My Niece Was Diagnosed With TB If The Knee In

My niece was diagnosed with TB if the Knee in Aprill 2014. In June 2014, that diagnoses changed to TBM.

She is currently taking R-cinex, Tericox, Ethide, Claribed, Levoflox, Benedon, Frisium, Eptoin and Quton.

Her medicines were changed multiple times from 1st line to 2nd line treatment because of wrong reports and treatment from Dr. Raju Vaish in Apollo hospital in Noida.

She has been on 1st line and then 2nd line treatment now for the last 22 months.

While she has been better, i.e. no pus in her knee and no temperature, her neurological state has been a yo-yo and is a concern. She has been bed ridden all this time and does not eat or sit on her own.

Under Dr's advise, her TB course of medicine can end at the end of this month, i.e. March 31st.

Can you give your thoughts on the course of action and are there any precautionary steps I need to take?
