Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It seems that the patient is having dementia as well as delirium. He will need some investigations like serum electrolytes, hemoglobin and a chest x-ray. Antipsychotics are strictly contraindicated in lewy body dementia.
You may take him to ER from where he will get appropriate referral.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
