A. Hello mom that medicine is basically used for reducing excess acid formation in the body . So try to give only if prescribed otherwise not required, as she is been sick .. so give her some time to recover well , give her good amounts of liquid and then mild flavoured semi solids to soft cooked foods , seasonal fruits and vegetables, juices or coconut ware etc , soups etc
