Patient refusing food and medicine.

2025-04-30 03:17:51
My father had a stroke on February 27 and is currently recovering. After the stroke, he had paralysis on the right side and difficulty speaking. For the past two days, he has been refusing to eat or take his medicines, and he has shown signs of anger and frustration. When we try to feed him or give medicine, he pushes our hands away. We've tried several times today, but he continues to resist. What should we do in this situation?

There are many causes in such cases. First u have to rule out any electrolyte disbalance and infection.. U can increase his activity and take him outdoor on a wheel chair. If u find nothing working then consult a neurologist
