Patient: Hi docter, my mother has been recognized with TB few weeks ago and mecidines were going but she was feeling very weak and suddently she recognized with malaria and again hospitalized now.. She was doing lots lf vomiting but since yesterday vomiting has stopped and today dr is releasing her from hospital but she feels lots of gas when she eat something.why can u please help me to understand what should we do Doctor: 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.
