My father, 83 years old had an accident resulting in a brain hematoma . He had surgery in order to take out the hematoma. Also he has a pacemaker and is now starting to take his usual coangulant pills ( Sintrom 100mg).He is slowly recovering (we take short walks twice a day) and I try to keep a conversation with him so that he can slowly get back to normal, but he has a loss of appetite . He is taking a complex of vitamin B . How can he increase his appetite?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The loss of appetite in your father is likely to be related to several factors. Medications could be one of them, but then, he needs to take them anyway. More important could be related to lack of physical activity and exercise. So, I would encourage you to make him exercise/walk on own, or if needed, with the help of a physiotherapist. In addition, he can be given small meals more number of times, than giving two-three large meals. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any further information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
