Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your mother experience with hot and cold sensations loss of appetite following a diagnosis of Alzheimers disease I am suggesting a possible malaria episode
In view of this please do malaria parasite test to confirm the diagnosis
Meanwhile please take tablet artesunat Tylenol pending the outcome of the result
I hope this helps Regards
