Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Vomiting In A Breast Feeding Mother

Consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I have read and understood the problems.
The stress of the travel, erratic timing of meals, hotel foods will have a direct effect on the gastrointestinal system if the person is not acquainted with.
To recapitulate: There was constipation, not passing stool for 4 to 5 days- uneasy at night and vomiting - and passed normal motion- sleeping on the left side made her uneasy and wanted to pass motion - feeling weak and giddy - burping - 2 sachets of sugar and 1 chocolate - no stamina to go to toilet even - sensation of going to toilet is making her feel very weak.
My thoughts after reading the history about your wife:
This looks to be due to Gastroenteritis.
Even though you are on the move and travelling, it would be wise to take her to the nearest clinic or preferably a Hospital for checking the vitals to see for infection, dehydration. clinical evaluation and actual physical examination by a Doctor.
This is because the person having the symptoms as you have explained about your wife, may in fact be suffering from severe form of gastroenteritis and may be into a stage of septicemia, that only a Doctor can recognize.
If the condition becomes serious, she can be treated with intravenous fluids and antibiotics. If the condition is felt to be stable by the Doctor, he may prescribe, appropriate Antibiotic, Metronidzole, PIP or Ranitidine, symptomatic and supportive treatment.
The idea behind telling you all these things in detail is to keep in mind the possibility of the events turning into serious problem should be kept in mind.
If it is not that serious you can have oral medicines (most of the medicines are prescription medicines and need a valid prescription), she will be fine and you can further continue your travel as before.
I hope this answer helps you to understand the mild to the severe form problem that can creep up and be prepared.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis, and get a proper further treatment. Please feel free to ask for more or if you need further clarifications if you feel there is a gap of communication.
