My mom was diagnosed with spinal tb and has started her medications from 13th feb. after 10 days of taking medicines she started having fever and from past 2 days vomiting once daily. We did LFT and AST and ALT came high. The doc said to repeat the test again after 5 days, if the situation doesnt improve we will have to stop the medications for 2 weeks. Is there any risk involved?

If the Vomitting continues that is not safe for the patient so need to stop the tuberculosis medicine will have to be stopped temporarily and maybe alternative medicines will need to start slowly I feel you should consult a chest physician who is expert in treating tuberculosis before you take any further steps
