Your mother was diagnosed as Alzheimer's. Since her score is 20/30 (probably on MMSE), it must be mild dementia.

Hello
no as such it will not cause any major problem. However it is recommended that medicine should not be left with patient. It should be given by caregiver on regular basis for avoiding over dosing or pt may miss to take the prescribed dose.

Many respiratory infections start out as a dry cough, and then become a wet cough or productive cough as the lungs start to produce more sputum. Some types of chronic cough or severe cough may remain a dry cough, or become a persistent dry cough.
if it persists for a longer time , it may cause some severe throat and lung problems. your mother may need a medical consultation.

Hi lybrate-user,
your mom may be suffering from dizziness due to many causes. Since you list hypertension, depression, memory loss/amnesia as her medical conditions and that she is currently on medications like donep, lanxtra, divalprid and petril, I suggest that you re-consult the prescribing physician regarding your mother's recurrent dizziness and loss of balance as well as consciousness. If this is more easy to do online, I suggest that you contact the undersigned for a second opinion.
