I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm currently taking ATT, and about ten minutes after taking my Rifampin and Isoniazid or R Cinex this morning, I ended up vomiting. I'm really concerned about whether I need to take another tablet today or just wait until tomorrow. Could this affect my treatment?

You vomited after taking Rifampin+Isoniazid (R Cinex) this morning. It is likely that you did not fully absorb the medication. In this case, it is recommended not to take another dose today. However, if you continue to vomit or experience any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I recently started my TB medication and usually take it around 9 in the morning, but I messed up and forgot to have it on time. I just remembered it at about 11 at night and decided to take it then. I'm worried if taking it so late might cause any issues. Should I be concerned about this lapse in my schedule?
