Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query, your mother have symptoms of indigestion which is mainly due to abnormal abdominal movements leading to imbalance in body fluids and could be due to lack of adequate fibers in diet.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit gastroenterologist once and get complete examination done. You should go for blood and barium swallow tests and start treatment after complete examination.
Give your mother plenty of fluids and oral rehydration solution as well. Avoid taking large meals at a time and take small and frequent meals. Do warm saline gargles for throat symptoms. You should give multivitamin tablets.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
