Hello,
* The burning chest is secondary to drug induced gastritis from the tuberculosis treatment.
* It requires antacid and proton pump inhibitor therapy, but certain of these molecules interact at the cytochrome P450 synthesis pathway of the liver and can alter the drug levels of tuberculosis regiment.
* So do consult with your treating physician before taking any off the counter medicine ahead.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
