From a month, my mom is suffering from undiagnosed disease first week medicated for viral doctors suggested for couple of test from cbc to typhoid.

We consulted orthopedic. He prescribed ? acenac-mtr twice after food ? enzo mac -thrice before food (we did stopped omnacortil for a while) 3rd week no improvement in her condition and joint pains were unbearable. She was constantly feeling nauseated and hardly eat anything so we didn't give one dose. Post that she almost freeze couldn't able to move her knees. So orthopedic prescribed ultracet twice fifth week there was slight improvement but too much weakness and was down with cold and cough. We consulted another doctor and after couple of test (x-ray, cbc) report says ? (right paracardiac haziness s/o pneumonitis. Medicine prescribed ? montair ? prospan ? claribid 250 _twice a day ? lanol-er _ twice a day ? abflo_ twice a day there was an improvement after a week but there was drowsiness weakness swelling of feet and pain. 4th week after consulting physician he changed medicine as her coughing is over lesuride od 75-once in a day lcin 250 -twice a day lanol-ea twice a day supradyn- once a day but she completely lost appetite and so many medicines without food didn't felt right we stopped it for two days and she started eating.
