Brief Answer:
ORS is the mainstay of treatment. Citrus fruits need to be taken.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query. Your mother seems to be suffering from gastroenteritis. It is an infection (as evident from the rise in temperature) of the gastrointestinal system comprising of gastritis (the stomach discomfort) and enteritis (loose stools). This possibly has led to fluid and electrolyte imbalance thus causing the aches in the left upper limb.

In order get relief, she needs to do the following:
* Take juicy fruits like citrus fruits. They contain plenty of potassium which should help in proper functioning of the muscles and in reduction of the cramps.
* Take plenty of ORS (oral rehydration solution) to replenish the lost fluids and salts.
* Take some antiemetic like meclizine as per requirement.
* Take paracetamol or acetaminophen to reduce the pain.
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of her habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Stress reduction has a very important role to play. Yoga and meditation should help.

Hopefully that should help.

Let me know if I could help further.
