Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your grand mother's situation and problem.
In my opinion she is having severe gastritis due to anti tb drugs.
Anti tb drugs are known to cause gastritis. It is more common in old age patients because of poor digestive system.
So ask her to follow these instructions for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Start Proton pump inhibitors on empty stomach before anti tb drugs.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
