2017-06-01 10:10:45
I am 15 years old, and am suffering from TB. The medicines were started a few days ago, and I have developed side effects like vomiting, complete loss of appetite and weakness. Is this normal ? And how long will it take me to become habitual to this ?

Anti TB medicines have side effects of acidity and loss of appetite. Take antacids also along with these medicines. But never stop taking medicine
