Hello,
Many people taking anti tuberculosis medicines develop gastritis or hepatitis.
Consult your doctor and get the liver function tests done.In case it is due to drug induced hepatitis,then concerned drug can be withdrawn and alternative medicine orally or injectable can be added.
If it is just gastritis,then anti emetic medicines and antacids can bring relief to the patient.Consult your doctor for the necessary action.
Thete is nothing to worry as things would settle soon.
Thanks
