Hello,
The symptoms of your mother seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times day. I also suggest using medication such as Omerprazole 20 mg to lower the acidity in the stomach. I recommend to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
