Hello,

I need to ask you little more about her pre-existing illnesses and what other medications is she taking. This could be due to number of reasons like drug related, GERD, sinusitis etc. All these things need to be addressed but only after proper history and thorough examination and testing. I suggest you to visit your doctor again to see if he can help in this regard.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
