Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcare magic. If I am your doctor I suggest you that malaria treatment causes vomiting by causing intense gastric irritation. As your mother is already taking the drug irritation will be some of more. As the vomiting is stopped still stomach is releaseing acid and body is try to neutralize it. In process on neutralization it releases the gas, so your mother is feeling gas. Kindly continue the treatment as suggested by doctor. If you have to ask for anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist.
