Seek diagnosis: Doubt you would have delirium at this point, and suggest a search for an underlying problem which creates cognitive dissonance. See a local neurologist and get evaluation. An infection could uncover a pre-existing subclinical problem.

Complex: It can take months for symptoms to resolve but delirium can also reveal other cognitive problems like dementia.
