Please do not take hydroxychloroquine without consulting your doctor. Joint pain during tuberculosis treatment is common and is often a side effect of certain anti-TB medications (which can raise uric acid levels) or a reaction to the infection itself. Hydroxychloroquine is a specialized immunomodulator, not a simple pain reliever. Taking it unnecessarily can cause side effects like stomach upset, skin rashes, or vision changes, and it may interact with your TB drugs. Please consult your treating physician. They can easily check your uric acid levels and prescribe safe, appropriate pain relief that won't interfere with your recovery.
