Father-in-law was unable to pass motion for a week. In the meantime, elder brother died who he is very close to. The next day after his death he starts behaving and talking in a very disoriented manner. Upon consultation by a gastroenterologist, he starts taking medicines but is still unable to pass motion for the next 2 days. Gastroenterologist advises to take him to a hospital for an enema. He starts passing some motion after the procedure. The next day he starts having continuous loose motions and becomes weak, unable to sit up and his legs start shaking. He is admitted to icu. His brain ct scans, chest ct scan and rt pcr is also done for covid. Covid test comes negative and his brain scan also does’t show any problems. Mild pneumonia is detected in lungs. Oxygen saturation is normal with cylinder support at around 96, sometimes without support also he can breath normally. It has been 5 days now since hospitalization but he is still disoriented and lung infection is there. Pls help.
