Injection streptomycin is not a must for treating LN TB. Can take 4 drugs as per your weight rifampicin,isonex,ethambutoland pyrazinamide. for four 2 months and then 23 drugs rifampicin and isonex for 4 months. Most patient responde to this .You should consult respiratory physician.

Dear, If you have been diagnosed for the first time of TB then streptomycin is not needed. It is combination of four drugs to be taken for first two months followed by 2 drugs for another 4 months. If it the disease relapses then streptomycin has to be taken for first 2 months and entire regimen for 8 months. If You Are Taking only Streptomycin then It Is not the appropriate treatment. .. Plz tell the name of all drugs you are taking. ... BEST WISHES
