Hello dear,

You do not need to pay anything for the services in this forum.

The symptoms can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthitis or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
Though symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of anti-emetics like Ondansetron preparations and Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Cinnarizine preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician), the underlying cause needs to be treated.

If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician & get a complete clinical examination done.
Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.
A CT scan of brain will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

There is no need to worry, your mother will be fine.
Till then, she should maintain adequate hydration & proper nutrition status and avoid stress.
And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements.

Wishing her a Good Health.
Take care.
