Hi, it might be late to think of what to do. now only neurologists can do any thing after the examination of the nerves, and muscles.
See that she may not develop anemia. give her juices of palatable vegetables, like tomato, carrot, and beetroot etc,
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe injections of vitamin B1,6, and 12 for 10 consecutive days.
Give her green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods, to facilitate the recovery. Thank you.
