What can be done to manage a stubborn and excited geriatric patient?

Question

.Hello doctor,

My father is 85 years old and now he has become very stubborn and is not listening to anyone. He is excited many times and shouted at his son. He used to do some housework like electricity, water seeping and spoiled it because now he cannot do anything in a proper way. So he damaged things but whenever anybody wants to stop him he becomes very horrible and excited. Please give me some medicine to make him cool and calm. He had his open heart surgery two years back.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can start Chamomilla 200 five pills in the morning, noon, evening and night, Alfalfa mother tincture 10 drops in half cup of water in the morning noon and night. Along with these try to do the following:

It is very common in old age. Do not take it on mind much. Let him do what he wants as he allowed you in childhood. You also would have thrown a tantrum in childhood that time he bore you. As same as him, you bear it with a smile. He has a few years only then you will be free from all worries. If you will not interfere with his work he will enjoy that for a few minutes then he will leave himself as he does not have much power. Do not force him to stop, tell him in a slow tone and not in an order form. Behave with them like a kid. At this age, they become a kid. At this age, he needs coziness from you. Just think you have a small kid and you have to tackle that kid. Definitely, you will see changes in him and your mind. Medicines will help you but your patience and love will make dramatic changes. Try these just as medicines. I know damage cannot come back as money is important but just a few months or years. God will look after you.
