Had Concussion, Dizziness, Had Viruses. Has Had Weight Loss And Anemia. Body Odor?
Hi, my mother is almost 90 years old and I am looking after her. She has had a fall and then concussion and then dizzy spells and now is getting better. The thing is she smells of sour cream or sour butter. She has had a bad 2012/2013 which, I believe began when she was burgled and then she had some viruses after that and so forth. She used to weigh about 11 stone and now weighs about 9 or less. She is also anaemic. She refuses to have tests done re weight loss and anaemia. The concern at the moment is about the body odour.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The description does not suggest any serious neurological illness. For symptoms relief, she may be given a small dose of quetiapine. Please get back if you require any additional information.
