Hi, My father is 70yrs old and was recently admitted in hospital witChatDoctorplaints of low sodium (120). He was then discharged in a few days once his sodium levels were 132. But he was depressed and had delusions. Consulted a Neuro and he said he is having mild dementia/alzhimers. He initially gave aricept, nexito plus and vit b12 tablets for a week...nothing improved
Hello, dementia is a chronic condition that impairs the functional capacity of the patient, causing memory loss and other deficits as the disease progresses. I can't - obviously - explain your fathers condition without having examined him but I'm sure the neurologist is more than capable to handle such situations. After dementia becomes evident, you can't expect a great improvement, and you can't expect him to get back to normal. The Chat Doctor. Despite that, you should discuss how he's going with the neurologist. The neurologist should re-assess your father and perhaps modify his treatment regimen. Kind Regards!
