Your mother has severe alcohol induced gastritis and probably hematomesis. You should take him to gastro physician to control of her symptoms. Doctor may advise endoscopy to rule out esophageal varices if any. She may get benefit by antacids and proton pump inhibitors.
You should take her to psychiatrist/deaddiction center to stop use of alcohol.
Thanks.

Hi, Thanks for using healthcare magic. I have gone through your history. Your mother has severe alcohol induced gastritis and probably hematomesis. You should take him to gastro physician to control of her symptoms. Doctor may advise endoscopy to rule out esophageal varices if any. She may get benefit by antacids and proton pump inhibitors. You should take her to psychiatrist/deaddiction center to stop use of alcohol. Thanks.
