Brief Answer: High Calorie, High protein diet will help recovery Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. Though you have not mentioned the diagnosis given by your mother's treating doctor, I presume that her ongoing fatigue/tiredness is a consequence of viral fever (called Post-viral asthenia); and, nausea due to ingestion of antibiotics/other drugs. She will improve within a couple of weeks, with * High Calorie and high protein diet (give extra proteins in the form of Protein powder, such as, Protinex Powder/Granules, freely available in the market; * additional multi-vitamin+ minerals supplements and, * plenty of water daily. Nausea will be controlled with a short course of * an anti-nausea drug, such as, Emeset 8mg thrice daily, to be given at least 30 minutes before meals; and, * a Proton Pump Inhibitor, such as, Pantoprazole 40mg once a day, to be taken early morning (empty stomach). Lastly, presence of tiredness at her age may indicate underlying/undiagnosed under-active thyroid. So, get her Thyroid Profile done. If the report is suggestive of under-active thyroid, appropriate treatment will cure her problems. Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any. Take care, Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
