i sugesst you to continue the treatment till 6 weeks report comes and consult your doctor after that. some times even if the tests are negative but if the symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis many doctors in india still go for ATT as its common in our country.they will observe for symptom relief and ask you to continue or stop. its natural that many aptients suffer from side effects of ATT initially in the first month but later most of them will subside. if you have feeling ofnausea, reeling sensation excessive sweatins, palpitations just take few glasses of water orplain fruit juice and take tablet Pantocid DSR that is pantoprazole with domperidone combination twice daily before food in the first month. take good proteinaceos diet while your on ATT like eggs and milk etc...what ever your doctor sugessted is right just follow his orders.
