Tq Dr. S.K. mitra for clear description, As your mother is already on so much medication, first priority will be from mine side on immunity, uti, sleep - - continue the treatment as prescribed earlier - add on - 1) Brahmi Vati – 2 tablets at night - Supports sleep, mental calmness, and memory. 2. Varunadi Kashaya – 15 ml after meals twice daily with water - Monitor for mild GI upset. 3. Ashwagandha Capsule 500 mg at night with milk -Supports immunity, stress relief, and mild fatigue. 4) wash vaginal area 2-3 times with Luke warm trifla decoction to get relief from uti , 4 days continuously then alternate for 3-4 days, don’t use any peesafe or other vaginal wash. —Continue her allopathic medicines without interruption, but review liver function occasionally due to Ashwagandha and Varunadi, rest follow the same treatment, if any problem occurs after these medicines,then monitor and plz consult .
