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'm trying to cut down on smoking and I've heard that vaping and e-cigarettes might be a better option since they don't have tar. I'm curious if they really are a bit less harmful and if it's possible to gradually reduce the number of puffs too. I've noticed there's not much information out there. What do you think about this?

I've been dealing with congestion, a lot of phlegm, and a cough for about 10 days now. I took a COVID test right when these symptoms started, and it came back negative. I've been steaming about 6 to 7 times a day, but things aren't really getting betterthey're just staying the same. What should I do next?
