My 78-year-old grand father had recent hip surgery 15 days ago
Initially (few days after surgery), he had:
confusion and delirium which improved after we started melatonin 3mg.
But for the last 3 days:
during daytime he is mostly normal
At night (after ~9 PM), he becomes very restless:
keeps turning left - straight continuously
cannot stay in one position even for a few seconds
asks to sit every 10–15 minutes, sits briefly, then lies down and repeats
appears sleepy but unable to fall asleep
There are no hallucinations now, but restlessness is severe.
His reports show low sodium (129).
His sugar in today morning - 78
2 hours After lunch (just 2 spoon) - 90
He is also eating very little. He doesn't like taste of anything at all. No juice, no food nothing. He's hardly eating 2-3 spoon. So somehow I started giving him ORS twice a day.
And yes He's very stubborn person - doesn't like to go or stay in hospitals. even for broken bone surgery we had to convince him too much.
Patient is an 88-year-old Female with severe anemia (Hb: 7.0 g/dL). Doctor has prescribed Iron Sucrose (Irozorb-S) IV injection. We live in a remote location, making hospital transport very difficult. Is it safe to administer this injection at home given her age? We are extremely concerned about the risk of Anaphylaxis (severe reaction). What emergency precautions or medicines (like Adrenaline) are mandatory? Also, are there any high-absorption oral alternatives (like Liposomal Iron) that can raise Hb levels quickly for an 88-year-old?
I am having stomach pain for past 2 days and anything I am eating, vomiting happens. Please suggest me the prescription
