Loss of appetite and gas issue
My mom is unable to eat properly for over five days now. Last Sunday she got ill and has the tendency to vomit. The fever isn't coming back now. Now, she's able to eat once a day and doesn't eat properly. She's having loose motion, gas formation and little acidity. Is it due to any infection, if so what medicines can be used to treat it?

This could be due to a viral infection . In cold weather we inhale many floating particles in the atmosphere which also carry some water vapours which are floating on the dust particles. Some of the floating particles will be swallowed and the person gets viral infection in the stomach.
She has to follow lifestyle modifications like avoiding spicy and fried food, having easily digestible food, having some fruits, she should also have hot soup at night.
For medicines she should take Pantaprazole, Tab Norflox-Tinidazole, Tab Nutrolin B, some supplementary treatment depending on whether she gets diarrhoea or constipation.
She will improve within 3-4 days but she may have to repeat the course after 15-20 days.
