Suggest Treatment For Infectious Delirium, High BP And Gout

Posted on Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Question: XXXX here from XXXXXXX
I have just suffered from an attack of Infectious delirium & been hospitalised. This is the 3rd occasion I have suffered this year. It lasts about 1 day in hospital & the Anti Biotics seem to help. I am on extensive medication for high blood pressure and have a pace maker fitted. I take Warfant, Nu Seal Aspirin& Crestor and other medication for my heart / Gout /. Is this something that I will suffer from for the rest of my life. I do not take Alchol but am worried about driving my car. I live with my wife but my family are all overseas. Would welcome advice.

I had a bad dose of coughing bringing up Mucus. Previous I had Sellolitis on my leg and that was the doctors said the reason for it. Also Sellolitis on my face.

Doctors said that was reason

Brief Answer:
Sounds plausible

Detailed Answer:
usually the infection has to become
systemic for it to cause confusion. are your legs swollen? do you have a bone infection in that foot? sounds like the only way to prevent it from reoccurring is to treat the primary infection and keep it from spreading
