Brief Answer:
Take medicine for 3-4 months

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
You have to take the prescribed medicine for atleast 3-4 month and then the next course may be decided depending upon the improvement.
There is no such restriction. She has to avoid fasting condition and timely eating shall be preferred.
Ideal weight for her is 50 to 55 kg kg
You may give the same medicine for the children also but the dose will be less comparative to adults. For children you may start with
1 alfaalfa Q 5 drops with half cup of water two times in a day
2 china Q 5 drops with half cup of water two times in a day

I would suggest to to take protein rich diet. For vitamin you may consult to your doctor. You may give her Syrup B- complex syrup if suggested by doctor.

Hope this is clear to you
Thanks
Dr Ratnesh
