Brief Answer:
Give her proton pump inhibitors and antiemetic drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your concern.
Your wife is mostly having drug induced gastritis.
She is not taking any antacid and these antibiotics are known to cause gastritis.
So better to start proton pump inhibitors and antiemetic drugs.
Ask her to avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep herself hydrated.
Also get done chest x ray to rule out pneumonia.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.

Today in the morning i have given her pan40 and after lunch she has taken taxim o and vizylac together after that she was complaining of diziness and felt asleep. Is that how this drug works. please confirm. Attach is the prescription.
Brief Answer:
She is taking three antibiotics.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your concern. I have gone through the prescription you have attached.
No, sleepiness and dizziness are not due to this drugs.
Actually she is taking three antibiotics. Taxim-O contains taxim and ofloxacin. She is also taking azithromycin.
So basically she is taking three antibiotics. So she is taking many antibiotics which is likely cause for gastritis.
Sleepiness and dizziness can be due to low blood pressure because of vomiting and decreased oral intake.
Please let me know if she had chest x ray done or not.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
