Hello, TB meningitis is treatable disease and patients usually improves well with treatment. Nausea is a common side effect of TB medications. Some adjustment of timing of dosages and medications for nausea will relieve it. There are many medications for nausea, and they can be tried. Nausea is not a serious side effect and apart from discomfort it is not to be worried about. Good luck.
