Dear Lybrateuser, you have not mentioned the duration of present ATT therapy. Please note that TB treatment is a step wise therapy and despite best efforts some side effects like vomiting & loss of appetite occur at start of treatment. You should have patience and please don't change / switch / alter TB medicines or their doses. Kindly reconsult your doctor to solve this issue. But in case the vomiting does not decrease, you can always have a second opinion from a Pulmonologist. Wishing your patient a speedy recovery.
