Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
You are taking treatment Tuberculosis of lymph nodes (glands in the neck).
Initially 4 drugs are given in the form of AKT4 for a period of 2 months, this is followed by three drugs in the form of AKT3 for a period of 10 months.
Most of the drugs used in these regimens can produce toxicity in the liver.

If you develop pain in upper abdomen with yellowish discoloration of the skin, fever etc. then you will have to stop the treatment and consult your doctor at Apollo so that he can use the alternate medicines to treat the infection.
As long as you do not get these problems you can continue the treatment.

Regards!
