Hello,
It is mandatory to check with some tests to ascertain whether you need more anti-tubercular treatment. ESR is always important and has prognostic value.
X-ray chest can also be done and compared with previous films. You should always consult your doctor if you are losing weight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
