I have a bit cough since may, 2020 and in june I had a cavity 19. After recovery from the cavity 19, my cough did not cure and continue for 2 months. Then for one month only I had relief from cough but from oct, 2020 cough started again. After diagnosed by pulmologist suggested ct scan and found lungs sarcoidosis after that he advice me for bronchoscopy and same result came but there were some necrosis found in the bronchoscopy report. He prescribed tb medicine for 3 months by saying that if there will be chance of tb will stop otherwise it is difficult to control it. Now three months over and no improvement. One more ct scan has been performed and reported" no significant interval change" then, the doctor remove pyzina 2000 mg from my prescription and add defcort 48 mg. Kindly guide me that should I continue my rcinex 600 mg and combutol 1200 mg with defcort 48 mg or one more thing is it 48 mg of defcort is sufficient or more than the required steroid? My weight is 75 kg and is there any other way to be get rid of from steroid or any other treatment to cure.

Yes you shd continue with steriods and steriod dosage is right for your weight. But I wouldn have started you on anti tb meds unless you developed any symptoms of it.
