Delirium from pneumonia, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Make sure that: All other potential causes or contributants are addressed. Get treatment for the pneumonia as soon as possible. Make sure that your family is aware that you have had periods of confusion. Ensure that you are adequately hydrated and that your nutrition is sound. Ensure that the antibiotics that you are receiving are not contributing to your delirium.
