What Causes A Stomach Upset With Unusual Vomiting?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your mother have symptoms of stomach upset with unusual vomiting which seems to be due to gastroenteritis or secondary to stomach infection. It could be due to viral infection as well. Need not to worry. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration. Avoid fast foods, carbonated drinks & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc. You should avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you to lessen use of milk and milk products. You should take tab norflox tz twice daily with tab lomotil twice daily for 3 days. You should take soft, plain, non-spicy foods. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Avoid stress.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
