- severe or repeated vomiting, or you cannot keep food down
- a skin rash, itching with swelling, or blisters

Beware of fake calls and websites
- Health staff never ask you to pay money to “release” a Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana payment.
- Never share an OTP, ATM PIN or bank password with anyone, even if they say they are from the TB programme.
- Give bank details only in person at your TB programme health facility, never on a call, WhatsApp or an unknown website.
- If you were cheated, call the national cyber crime helpline 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in.
