My mother, 72, had stopped taking defcort 6 mg (taking on alternate days for 2 years due to ild) as she was not having solid food due to vomiting and loose motions 15 days ago. Should defcort 6 mg medicine be started again now?

It's in your best interest if you consult a pulmonologist (dm pulmonary medicine or md chest and tb) who will assess her again and ascertain the need to restart deflazacort. Although you should not discontinue this medicine abuptly but now when you have already done you should not restart it by yourself. I wish her good health!
