Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My father is 93 and living in a nursing home. His spine is very crooked and his face hangs a bit to the right. Today his lip was hanging on that side and he was drooling. His right hand is swollen and he is incoherent but he also has progressing dementia. I could not tell if he was able to use his right arm. The Nursing home said they further investigate but I would like an MD’s opinion so I know if I need to follow up if symptoms do not improve.
