Following advice...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation your daughter is in.

1. Take plenty of fluids (water with OTC ORS, juice, etc.)

2. Take probiotics to optimize intestinal flora

3. Take antacids to stabilize stomach pH

4. Have light meals (no oily/fried/chilly foods).

5. Consume more chicken breast soups, yogurt, rice, banana, toast, etc.

If it will persists, consult with her physician.

Wish fast recovery!

Brief Answer:
OTC=over-the-counter;ORS=oral rehydration salt

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

OTC = over-the-counter
ORS = oral rehydration salts

With regards to antacids, I advise to take those containing aluminium and magnesium hydroxide. You can have a look at the label first before purchasing.

All the best!
