General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Thank you for the query. I understand your concern.
It seems your father also had some injury to head also along with hip injury when he fell down. His irrelevant talks/ loss of memory does suggest some brain problem( due to hit on head/ degenerative changes due to age or his disease.
* So he needs a detailed physical examination along with X ray of hip to exclude fracture followed by specific treatment .
Home management till you see the doctor.consists of rest/ cold pack/ NSAID pills for control of pain.
* He needs admission & observation for head injury with EEG if advised/ X ray skull .. to ascertain the extent of problem.. followed by treatment by a nuro physician
Thanks..
