My mom had the sputum exam negative, in both the IMO and my city health office. After the 2nd xray yesterday they asked again to do the sputum on March and 3rd xray on May
They also asked my mom to take the medication even though it not yet TB positive diagnose. Im from the philippines.

That is very strange. Have seen clinics in the Philippines requiring applicants to do additional testing and see other doctors so there does seem to some upselling for profit in some cases. If your mother was able to give a good sputum sample she shouldn’t have to endure a hardcore antibiotic therapy.
