Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
Your mother has severe allergy and acidity due to one of the drugs/or something she ate.
Please give her ---
Fexofenadine 120 mg in the morning, Benadryl 50 mg at night and Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day---for a week.
If she does not improve in a day--take her to ER.
If she improves, schedule an appointment and see your doctor to find out the cause.
You can revert back.
Regards
