Sorry to hear about your mother's problem. Antibiotics do lead to gastritis and it can be annoying at times. It is best to give your mother a tablet of Pantoprazole in the morning before meals. This will help in keeping the gastritis at bay.
In addition to this give her curd along with her meals.

Hope she gets well soon.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
Some Antibiotics do effect stomach causing gastritis , loose motion , nausea , vomiting etc. She should use some PPI ( Proton Pump Inhibitor ). and if it is not effective then should contact her family physician you don't need to worry it often happens with antibiotics.

Take care Have a great day
