Brief Answer:
Fever, Nausea, Dyspnea

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for your query.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concern regarding shortness of breath and dizziness experienced by your mother.

I would suggest you get an over the counter antipyretic drug (Paracetamol) which will help reduce fever, headache and body pain. These drugs can be taken every 6 hours after food.

Bed rest is suggested till fever comes down.

Avoid harsh sounds and lights.

Fluids to be given orally at equal intervals and fluid diet is recommended.

Get in touch with a doctor near by you if symptoms do not reduce within an hour.

Emergency care should be sought if the following is observed:

1. Fever increasing even after taking antipyretics and other associated symptoms like chills, sweating, vomiting and headache with neck stiffness.

2. Shortness of breath associated with wheeze.

3. Dizziness increasing even after bed rest.

She might have to undergo some investigations to diagnose the reason for her fever and dizziness.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

It would be helpful if you could provide more details regarding her medical history and symptoms in your next query.

Please get back if any more clarifications.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Food poisoning???

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome back.

Your mother has history of chronic sinusitis and that might be the reason for the dizziness and migraine.

The symptoms of concern right now would be the nausea and fever which are suggesting a provisional diagnosis of food poisoning and acute gastritis.

I suggest you get in touch with a GP nearby you and get a prescription for an antibiotic preferably a quinolone drug for a duration of 5-7 days along with an anti emetic for the nausea and an antipyretic for fever.

I would also suggest a proton pump inhibitor which will help reduce the acute gastritis which also presents with similar symptoms.

Fluid diet is still recommended with at least 3-4 liters of water intake per day.

I hope I have helped in reducing your anxiety.

Please get back if I can assist you further.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Acute gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome back.

If the same food has been eaten by the entire family with no problems, then most probably she is suffering from acute gastritis which presents with similar symptoms as food poisoning.

I suggest you get a prescription for antacids and proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole which has to be taken half an hour before food.

If the symptoms do not reduce in an hour, I suggest you get in touch with a GP nearby you to get her examined in detail.

Wishing her a speedy recovery,

Thanks.
