Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Yes, if the lymphnode shows granulomas and findings are suggestive of tuberculous lymphadenitis, then you have tuberculosis.
2. Treatment is prescribed correctly and you can continue.
3. Side effects are rare and usually related to mild liver damage, if it occurs. Followup with liver function tests if you have any signs of jaundice or right upper abdominal pain.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
