General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problems you are facing is related to infection of pharynx and tonsils. You need to take ATT only when it is proved that you are an active case of tuberculosis by means of chest X-ray findings and sputum examination results.
Otherwise, for your throat infection, taking oral antibiotic course like Azithromycin, Throat decongestant medications containg Chlorpheniramine maleate and doing salt water gargling should suffice.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
