Sgot and sgpt values that u have suggested here with vomitings indicate drug induced hepatitis, in such scenarios we need to identify the anti tb drug causing the same and the ATT needs to be modified accordingly.
Next Steps
review with ur primary physician
Health Tips
u can stop ATT for a couple of days and not more than 2-3 days if u cannot medically review the patient immediately.
