I'm worried about my dad. He had TB last year, and we finished his treatment in April. But now it looks like the TB is coming back. Could you recommend a really good doctor?

I've just finished a round of clarithromycin but still have this chesty, wet, persistent cough. I went back and got prescribed azithromycin for 4 days, and it seemed to helpI felt much better. But now, just two days after finishing the meds, the cough is back. Could this be just my lungs clearing stuff out? I'm also feeling really congested in my nose again. What could be going on?
